Congrats to you and your family, but you "did it" during a robust U.S economy, which no doubt provided more opportunity than a crippled U.S ecocnomy. That is undeniable.

Wonder what would happen if you "did it" when the bottom has fallen out of the economy with soaring inflation and unemployment? I applaud your family's efforts and I agree that some people need to get off their @$$ and get to work, but don't oversimplify.

That said, the governement needs to throw the Big Three a bone here, not just cut them a blank check like the banks got, but do something. Two things drive the US economy, housing/construction and cars. Why? Because they are the only significant manufacturing sectors left in this country and one of them is in the toilet (housing) and the other is ready to flatline. The combined effect of this on the US labor force and economy isn't something I want to see. A bailout is no guarantee to success, but you have to try.
