We often don't realize how complicated the world is that "revolves around us". The daily grind is a continuos blind. When we are so embroiled in our own world we don't notice what is on the outside and if we choose our outside points of reference incorrectly then we will be in for a harsh wake up call. I honestly don't know where the good contacts for information are, but I have been reading editorials by two economists that I would tend to believe more than what has been termed "the media" or the "mainstream media". It is much easier to believe and trust one or two people than a "crowd" or "mob". Though trust itself can come into question in our lives.
If the government keeps getting bigger and keeps taking over control then what happens? Many people to one degree or another don't understand that with freedom comes responsibility for your actions, and with responsibility for your actions comes a responsibility for the consequences. Accountability headed to disaster in "bailouts". When we make a choice there is a consequence people want to avoid consequences I think that is a spoiled mentality and I would attribute it to the "natural man".
Just a few examples of what I mean.
Abortion for the various reasons could be trying to avoid the consequence of an choice
I have heard radio ads for a hangover cure, lets avoid the consequence of drinking alchohol
Radio ads about a drug that can get rid of fat, (no need to exercise is implied) avoid the consequences of not taking care of your body anyone?
Bailout money, gimme gimme gimme, avoiding the consequences of bad economic decisions
Actually I might be able to come up with a full blown analogy, but I will simply refer you to the parable of the 10 virgins. Each virgin made her own choices, 5 wise, 5 foolish. There were consequences and when facing those consequences there were no bailouts.
Consequences follow all actions and maybe if we had to face those we could learn and progress, that won't happen in businesses and governments if the rest of us are tapped to cover other peoples mistakes and follies.

I agree it is what we choose to do we make the choice. To bad everyone doesn't make better choices. Yes, it is to bad we are all effected by others choices.
Consequences always follow choices. There's no modern medicine or fiscal policy (and never will be) that will overcome that law. I wonder how things would be different if people stopped to think about that.
