Here we are, on the edge of a collapse of the economy, and lawmakers in Washington are getting ready to take a month long break so they can go do some campaigning.
Are they the most negligent politicians ever?
The "bailout" is just a stop-gap measure to attempt to increase confidence. It does little if anything to address the core problems of the financial system and the economy. Does it make sense for the lawmakers to take off and to hope things will work out?
It is delinquent that with our nation facing what may turn out to be the greatest crisis of all time that these individuals abandon the critical work, the real in-depth work, that needs desperately to be done.
My stomach turns just contemplating such clueless thinking.
