Reply #20: Let us strive for Shakespeare's sea-change

[unapatriciated]

Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.

and not what Wall Street dictates to us.

You are correct in thinking we have a "Pollyanna" mentality running through our country because the alternative is to frightening for them to acknowledge.
The vast majority of middle class adults have no memory of going to bed hungry so that their children are fed or working two and sometimes three low paying jobs just to pay the rent or care for a sick child.
Many here on DU have experienced this and that is why they are not on-board with this bail-out legislation. It doesn't solve the problem it is just delaying the outcome.
I don't have the solutions and hopefully I'm wrong about what is in store for the next generation.
