Interesting times are in front of us. Comically, I heard someone on a seemingly conservative radio program saying that a major concern is that people will start saving too much money and that will take money out of the economy and make things worse. While I agree that may happen, when did our purpose become artificially propping up our economy so there are no lean years? It may be painful in the short term, but people should be encouraged to pay down their debt, save some money and live within their means. The last thing we need is to encourage people to continue to live beyond their means just because it props up the economy in the short term.

This was my reaction and I linked to you herein.
