Geez, Fishy.....you are fighting with yourself.
I don't overspend and am not in debt (well, not too terribly far, anyway). I don't have much of anything new, nor top quality. I try to live within my means. For that effort, the assistance goes to those who are broke through their own choices ........ not always, but certainly there is zero assistance for those who have fought to live within their means.
Corporate matters are another argument and I agree that there is no good reason for them to be making such huge profits in times of such difficulties for the average Joe. George Carlin pretty much nailed it on that video (don't remember where it was).
Most reasonable people act accordingly and take care of their business and finances. These people when hit with extraneous situations that impact them financially should get help, while those that make it a lifestyle should get the boot.
Corporations that are trying to get out of their pensions benefits, cut the average earner's take home pay while lavishing luxuries on their CEO's and managers and making record profits should also be taken to task.
They have the money,they enact legislation in their favor and get away with off-shoring profits thereby starving our government of needed funds and leaving the bill for the average tax payer to pick up the tab.
The US should not be a Corporatocracy!
