I think our nation's financial situation is based upon greed gone awry, caused by irrepressible testosterone. Arrogant men running this country. My theory is based upon what men want and can't have. What do men want? . . . . A big screen TV, of course. (What did you think I was gonna say?!) His buddies at work all have one, guys on television have them, it's the norm. He sees them in ads and RC Wiley and has to have one. Enter the salesman who earns commission, whose testosterone also play a role, because on his way to work today he drove by the Bass Pro Shop and saw this new boat he really needs. But their wife said they can't afford it ~ estrogen check factor ~ Solution, make more $$ via more sales. So our buyer’s testosterone was supported by the salesman just by walking in the store."Oh yeah, you can afford this, we have instant credit here. We can have the TV delivered tomorrow or you can take it home today." Greed and E Z Credit, a fatal combination. Then, uh oh, wife needs something too, sooooooooooo, "Sure honey, buy whatever you want." (Testosterone guilt.) Instant credit works for her too, but at Nieman Marcus. Ten new outfits and matching shoes. Male credit manager earns commission on each approved application ~ his testosterone and greed are now a part of it.
It's a terrible cycle our country is in; it wants a trillion dollar big screen T.V set that we can't afford. A domino effect. Financial bail-out ~ quick fix or greed? Maybe we need more “estrogen restrain” in our government? I'm still waiting for my stimulus check. I wanna bass boat....

Can you imagine how big a trillion tv must be. You could probably watch it from space.
Good theory; but how do you rationalize the women who shop to feel good? Item "on sale", use credit card, & by the time they've paid for it, the interest on the card brings the price of the item to way more than original price! Good for our economy? Somehow,I doubt restraint of the estrogen crowd.
I like your theory--our terrible situation is all a man's fault because of his testosterone.
I like it:) I am sitting in our office where the picture of George Washington praying at Valley Forge is hanging. What happened to people who humbly ran this country and sacrificed that we all might be free- well I guess we are free now- free to buy more than we can afford, elect crazy leaders, spend more than is even actually in existance, and lose the freedom that our fathers, and fathers-fathers faught for. Sad really- Ever thought of running for President? They don't seem to get it, maybe you could help them along a little:)
I am waiting for my stimulus check too....where is it?
