Money matters

Great column, Nance! Ya know, you’re right. If someone bought a McMansion that was way out of their financial league, and now they’re singing the blues because they can’t afford Sonny’s college tuition, should I feel sorry for that person? And should my tax money bail him/her out?
“Consumerism” was a word invented in the 20th century, and I hate it. We’re no longer “citizens” but “consumers.” Yuk. Maybe this financial crisis will get us back in touch with our collective soul as a nation.
We needed a smackdown!
