It's a big-selling candy bar. Although it tastes wonderfully good, this bar doesn't satisfy. It makes you hungrier and saps nutrition from your wallet. Don't complain if you're starving.
Our economy is wobbly, gas, food and many other commodities are becoming very expensive, mortgage defaults and foreclosings abound. We're up to our necks in credit we can't afford to pay off. Whose fault is it? Ours. It's as much the fault of the credit industries as it is of those who receive credit, perhaps more fault should be placed on the industry for enticing us to borrow and making it too easy. These devils tempt us. How many credit card applications do you get every week? Can you even pay off one? It would appear that the industry doesn't care how much debt you incurr as long as they can get the interest payment and keep you on the credit merry-go-round for life. And the industry had the bankruptcy laws changed a few years ago to make it much harder to file for bankruptcy.
Primarily, I blame the credit industry for the problems we're facing now. If they had acted responsibly, they wouldn't have offered easy credit and the economy wouldn't have grown so fast; many of us wouldn't have been able to spend irresponsibly. If the lending industry wants payback it should be willing to sacrifice some of its earnings, share the loss with us, if not, they should be terminated with extreme prejudice and the funds owed them written off - a mass bankruptcy amnesty.
