As I might have stated before, we all might not like the notion of bailing people out but I would rather bail fellow Americans out than Iraqis that hate our guts anyday...and North & South Koreans, the Afghans, the Pakistanis, etc., etc.

I also agree with not taking on more than you can afford but personally speaking, having to wait on Road Home and insurance funds at one point is exhausting and I have a great paying job (now!) with a great interest rate. Thing happen to people - natural disasters, lay-offs and not matter how much you save or how much fortitude you THINK you have, lose everything due to the above and see what happens. You can all the money in the world but at the end have only a piece of a mind while trying to get things back together again. Sam White was desperate and stupid and I am sure there are other cases where people have committed despicable acts too. I think sometimes the IJ zeroes in one case that can cause an incendiary reaction and stir up a debate that doesn't need to occur in the first place and then again most times people like to look for smoke where there's no fire too.
