The U. S. in an Entitlement Era

The sense of entitlement gets out of hand.
           
Examples: Ads on credit card reduction services where banks are abused for wanting to collect “YOUR money they lent you.”
           
Or where you have the sole right to change the terms of your mortgage from lenders, obligations that you never could afford and never should have taken.
           
Read or listen to the media and you get the impression that bankers and not the open-handed politicians are responsible for our mortgage mess. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
