We are all just a bunch of people trying to get by the best we can. I didn't need a governement check and don't want to  leave more debt to our grandchildren. If we all pull up our boot straps, we could actually come out of this in better place. Or we can continue to beat each other up for no other reason than to feel better than "those people".
