3. The Adults Are Back In Charge... |
|
In the past week, I'm starting to see a move toward some accountability. Investigations are finally underway to uncover all the fraud and collusion that occured over the past 8 years and beyond...and start cleaning up the cesspool that is our banking system. As Keith Olbermann calls it..."the reason daddy went to jail".
The most important move needed right now is to stop the bleeding...the foreclosures, the defaults...the credit mess that is putting thousands out of work each day. For all intents our banks are insolvent and it's time to either fix what's there or find alternatives. The old way and those who created this mess have to go...and where necessary, prosecuted.

5. The Priority Of Priorities, Sis... |
|
This mess is so deep, the issue right now is which area needs the most attention. As we've seen with government, they're not very good at doing more than one thing at a time and thus we have to choose which priority is most important...which is bleeding the worst.
Right now, the credit mess is so critical it's put this economy in free fall. Without restoring confidence in banking, all other reforms have little chance of taking root. Thus right now the focus needs to be on how we bail out this mess...do we end up natoinalizing banks or somne other plan to wipe out all the debt that prevents any real recovery. Next, it's the focus on what costs can be saved...insurance ranks right at the top of that list...turning our health care system from catastrophic to proactive...preventing people from getting sick, thus saving billions. Oil alternatives also are very important, as is overall business reform...using tax breaks and incentives to encourage small business and competition that will produce the next generation cars and create new jobs and opportunities. But now I'm getting into dreamy, dreamy land...right now we need to find a bottom to this financial implosion.
Cheers...
