You speak a lot of truth there. For many years I was against food banks because I thought they took the pressure off people to scrape and scramble a little harder. I've since softened my opinion as times are changing. A lot of people today, I think are just not raised with "the tools" to fend for themselves. We still have to face the fact that each year the demand on the food banks increases and it won't be many years before those drawing from the food bank will exceed the number of contributors. Then what are we going to do?
That's a very important skill we have lost. I can't say we are better off..
As to what we going to do?
We already know. It's called to big to fail. Print more money and bailouts.
We hold the world hostage. Because if we fall, everyone falls. That's the too big to fail model we have atm.
China is working really hard right now to change that.
Once China isn't dependent on us anymore, they will lose the monetary advantage they now have over us. Small businesses will start popping up all over America again at that point.
