But to say that is indeed what has happened in this time of the government turning a blind eye to the practices of those who are making huge contributions is true. And your situation proves that keeping to fundamentals - living with and WITHIN a budget, paying your bills, making thoughtful decisions and not maxing out your credit - is still what keeps things moving in the right direction. And that should go for governments as well as individuals. So there! To say it is normal is too strong.

And it sounds a little shady that The Suits have been awarded millions (billions?) in bonuses while the point of their business is to provide financial support to people in need. Is this normal? Is it simply what's the be expected in the business world, good intentions or not? I feel fortunate that Patrick and I are in good enough shape and watchful enough to be on the outside looking into this mess; doesn't make it any less terrible to watch.
