Groupthink is on CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc., where there are heralding these galant recent attempts by the gov/ruling elite to "save us from ourselves". Yeah, if only Joe sixpack hadn't taken out that home mortgage, this might never have happened.........

Regardless of how well it reflects real businesses, dbz made an accurate statement. Businesses rely too much on credit. When they go to the well for another loan and it is dry, many common business models fail. Yes it is wrong to rely on credit that is not reliable.

While you're at it, go smack the s**t out of your stupid neighbor who bought a McMansion and Lexus SUV during the housing boom and is directly responsible for the housing meltdown and economic problems. Then steal their SUV and go run over everyone in the Fed Reserve. I heard running people over in an automobile carries a lesser penalty.
