I seemed to remember wisdom of the ages that it was far better to just face your problems, no matter what they were, early on, deal with the consequences so you could dust yourself off and begin recovering. You see that with children when they learn to start walking. I remember those lessons acutely when I started to ride a bicycle and I certainly experienced that first hand in my professional life.
But in 2008, this country veered far away from these universal truths….rather than facing our problems, sucking it up, taking the punch and feeling the hurt, our federal government avoided the lesson, averted the immediate hit and took the sissy way out. And for that we are all going to pay an enormous price….
