Shoot the greedy people the economy is back where it was!
"Then, ask yourself this: What makes me better off? What measures bring my economic house in order? When you have the answer to those questions, not only will you ? hopefully ? understand that the government cannot possibly help; you will also know what you need to do."
That's 100% bullshit man. I'm living in a country where they have been telling us that for 20 yr. Why? Because the corruption is so fucking hight and nobody can't do anything without stepping on somebody else toes. USA corruption increased year by year. Money don't disappear overnight, just drained to a better place

People become greedier because the average american was more concerned about the American Idol winner than what's going on there.
Don't want to disappoint you but the average people can't do anything to help himself or the economy. Maybe just survive! People who brought USA to this situation are still there and they aren't going to leave anytime soon.
