Last Thoughts on Our Crumbling Economy...

So, as this essay came to an end, and actually writing this essay, I thought A LOT about the US, and the world in general. I really like how my professor is having us learn about all this Real World stuff, and really understand deeply where the root of the problem is. I never really understood how or why the American Economy got so bad? I just knew that a couple of banks were cheating people and that's it. I think it's really interesting though how people can be so selfish, like those CEO's giving themselves bonus, I mean, it's not like they don't earn enough already ? But anyways, other than that, it seems to me this is not going to be in MY lifetime that things are going to be fixed, maybe in my kid's lifetimes or maybe further than that, but it seems like we are more and more in debt literally BY THE SECOND, so if we really don't start fixing things and REALLY trying to live by the "real" world rules...America will only go downhill from there... :/ and that's definatley not a good thing, not for America nor for any other country in that matter!
