A little off topic but it is interesting how people's expectation is so different than the reality. Here's another example of a mother who expected more from government from way back in '09.

Some nuggets:

"I was robbed first by Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, and Henry Paulson, the former Treasury secretary...and later by the bankruptcy judge"

"...did I deserve to be robbed because of the mistakes of others?"

Interestingly, she doesn't blame the reckless behavior in which her employer behaved nor does she blame the CEO, Dick Fuld, just the "government" folk it seems would have, should have saved her job at Lehman.


So yeah, it is a sad state of affairs when all segments of society think they "deserve" or earned something from their government no less.
