Lying in bed this morning, listening to Morning Edition, we hear this young guy bellyaching about how hard this recession has been on him. "This is haaaaard. My generation has never known a recession in our lifetimes! You're supposed to be able to buy a house, and have a good job right out of college, and nobody will loan me money anymore, and and and... I just don't know what to do!"
And Paul rolls over and says in his most nasal whine: "I can't be out of money! I still have checks in my checkbook!
Criminy. Grow a pair, would you, Gen X?
Yes, times are tough, and yes, they suck right now. The rest of you guys are just now finding out how bad Michigan's had it for the last ten years. Hurts, don't it?
We'll get through this, we really will. Won't be fun, but it'll be a hell of a lot less painful if we all start acting like competent adults with a task to do instead of whining about how much we don't have.
