STUPIDITY

I'm sure you've heard the Albert Einstein's saying, "The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

I don't want to call anyone stupid, but let's think about this. 

• First, a $700 billion bailout for the banks that didn't work, and now they're proposing an additional $750 billion in order to do the job. Why?
• First, you have people going into debt over their head and not being able to afford their mortgages and other debt payments and yet we're trying to get the banks to lend more. Why?
  
• First, we see record foreclosures, a negative savings rate, and massive debt being incurred by US citizens which helped to lead us into this crisis, and now the government is spending even more than they bring in and incurring record amount of debt and expecting a different result than what the average citizen experienced. Why?

Can we seriously think that the government or those running it who are making the same choices over and over again and expecting different results (a.k.a. stupidity) are really that much better than you and I? Remember, we elect these people. Think about that the next time you're asked to vote for "more of the same".
