Where are we headed?

After a good week-end with several people stopping in to view our house and one couple who seemed truly interested, I get up this morning and start reading the financial news. Even with the government "rescue", it appears we'll be continuing on this downward spiral. After years of saving and managing debt, it seems Arne and I will be punished as a result of those who didn't save and who spent above their means. Not a comforting thought.
