President George Bush Doesn't Understand
Personal Finances
I watched President Bush do his BailOut Bust speech this morning.
This president is going to go down in history as the credit loving president I'm sure. He's still encouraging his government to vote for a credit bail out package that will allow people to borrow for cars, houses, consumer goods etc.
WAKE UP!! This is what got you into trouble in the first place. Americans are a lavish lifestyle loving country. They like their consumer goods. They like their toys. Their love their American lifestyle, which is way more extravagant than the rest of the world.
AMERICANS DEMAND INSTANT GRATIFICATION
The Americans are known as gluttons. They're using 25% of the worlds oil supplies to keep up with their lifestyles. They're addicted to oil, and addicted to credit. Americans are used to their lavish lifestyle.
This is why President Bush is encouraging the government to save the credit markets. He wants to help maintain his country's lavish lifestyle.
What ever happened with buying things with cash. IE.. you work hard, save up, put money away, and then buy your items with cash.
How many families have 3 TV's, 2 cars, cellphones, computers, more gadgets etc. These products that the consumers buy really drive the market in many ways. Many of these products are purchased on credit. With the credit crunch, many people won't be able to purchase these consumer items. So what?!! People aren't going to have their instant gratification goodies! Booo Hooo!
The only thing I would worry about is that people's necessities are met. Food, shelter, clothing etc. If these are met, people will be fine. They won't be lavish, but they'll be fine.
I can't believe that George W Bush is still promoting businesses and individuals taking on more debt. Why not step back, & start working with cash.
Mine is not a popular point of view, however, it would make our economy, and the American economy stronger in the long run.
Final thought... maybe good that this credit crisis is blowing up 6 weeks before the new president is elected. Whereas George Bush will be remembered for being a credit loving president, hopefully the new administration will get a fresh start as far as managing their money and credit better.
