My degree is a Major in Accounting and a Minor in Finance. Then 2 years of Audit, then many years Comptroller to eventually President of a Company. You lived in a different time than now. I have the highest degree of respect for the constructive and responsible life you have lived. You're entitled to your opinion.
What, like poor you has it so much harder? I started my career during the 15% prime interest rate recession of 1982 which Volker used to squeeze out the 1970's era Carter inflation. I worked temp jobs out of college for my first 2 years which formed a valuable portion of a basis for a now 44 year career where I have held all the titles imagine-able at on time or other that today has me owning my own pharmaceutical development and legal consulting S-Corp firm of 30+ years, where I bill annually $500 - $1MM, sitting on ~$1MM liquid cash + a $3MM 401(k).
The Revolutionary War generation lived, struggled, and eventually won against forces far greater, the Civil War generation survived to rebuild a country where 400,000 of their countrymen had died fighting a European effort to divide and conquer us, the WWII generation entered post-war unemployment and hung on to turn it all around economically in the 1950's, building families, technological advancement and wealth in the process, the Reagan peace through strength era that defeated the USSR without firing a shot while building massive wealth through supply side tax policies.
And somehow I don't remember reading about record of whiners like we see today, who blame everyone else for their inability to make it and scolds like yourself wagging your finger about what you allege is and entirely "unforgiving, unsympathetic un-Christian" stance taken by those who did not make the same foolish choices as others.
My stance doesn't lack humanity at all. I give generously to my church and to faithful missions it supports as well as to other worthy Scripturally sound charities. One hopes that you do as well.
I don't see how you as having once been the president of a firm with the obligation to maintain and increase shareholder value would hold on to non-performing assets and personnel merely for the sake of the appearance of "humanity" - especially when it is other peoples' money we're talking about.

Got it. I agree people are weaker and less productive than in the past. Your stance is lacking Humanity.
