We have become a subprime nation with a subprime government and a subprime dollar. It is easy to point to the ignorant, the gullible and the greedy "homebuyers" on the fringes of society and sneer at their stupidity, but they were only following a well worn path of irresponsible behavior that has become the hallmark of our national character. This country needs new leadership -- not just political leadership, but business leaders and civic leaders who are not afraid to stand for something beyond greed and sloth. I must say, if we had more people like Warren Buffet then we would be a rich nation indeed. I don't mean to say he is perfect, but his wealth has not ruined his character and he did not ruin his character to gain his wealth.
