American and global economic problems didn't happen overnight. Before government officials take the shelacking, Americans must pay the piper for irresponsible financial practices on Main Street, Wall Street, and in our government.
On Main Street, we failed to follow financial discipline. We racked up credit card debt, adjustable notes, and just lived beyond our means! Our economic problems is partially made by us! We showed poor financial discipline and lived beyond our means.
Wall Street and the business world have been spoiled! They've been able to create the rules for trading and running banks with limited monitoring. Like a parent and teenager living with new curfew rules, government is creating stricter monitoring and rules to how businesses are run. Of course Wall Street and the business world is bucking and calling our government officials names, but notice... like the teenager... they are still abiding by the new rules.
Finally... our government. They know what's in our future, and they are bracing for the tough economic times. Creative legislation, leadership, and holding all Americans responsible for making better economic choices are on the horizon. Government must attract the common American to make better decisions and empower us to take part in helping our country to recover from this economic disaster. Like a horrible natural disaster, how well our government corrals us to come together and say, "What can we do to help rebuild our American economy?" will determine the life of this economic disaster.
Our recovery will be determined by how Americans see the country. Will we live as victims with finger pointing or will each of us own our problem as one country? Each of us had a hand in the problem, now let's see if each of us dip our hand to get us out! [more]

When I was in college, on-line stocktrading wasn't in existance. I remember calling a brokerage for prices on stocks, and it ranged between 20-100 dollars a trade. Today, with on-line trading brokerages that offer minimal charges, I'm able to be in the market. [more]
