Simple solution

Hold on, America.

So shortly after everyone stops paying their mortgages and the economy collapses, everyone stops paying their credit card bills (Marcy Gordon, Associated Press, October 31)?

What's with that?

And why is everyone hollering about corporate greed? And whining about the government taking over?

And when everyone's fretting about the federal deficit soaring to $1 trillion, how on earth did household debt in this country reach $13.8 trillion (Bill Powell, Time magazine, November 3)?

So we now expect the government to save us from ourselves?

What's wrong with this picture?

Listen, America. If you buy something, pay for it.
