Our economy

President Obama’s remarks on Monday night sounded much like Chicken Little. He insisted that the answer to our current crises is to pass the bailout bill without delay or further discussion. Yet our government has failed to convince the majority of Americans that this is the magic potion to our problems. So what should our government do? Listen. Surprisingly, the people they represent have an opinion. If the response is an overwhelming go-ahead, so be it. If it is otherwise, maybe they should stop and reconsider before mindlessly rushing ahead. Either way, the American people may want a voice in what is going to be done with a large amount of their money.
