Governments can only "muddle through", even in the best of times. They aren't designed for crisis management and their staffs are inherently risk averse. That is why events seem to be driving policy; probably because they are. I am very disgusted with the political elites. Good article on Bloomberg online today about the Cambridge, MA (MIT, Harvard) and Ivy League backgrounds, uniformly, among all of the key players. I don't know if you saw the CNBC clip with Rick Santelli last week. Gibbs' response was really condescending and smug (comment about not listening to derivatives traders). Good way to (I hope) dry up campaign contributions. Clearly, Santelli hit a nerve regarding fundamental fairness, a sense of responsibility, and having individuals accept the consequences of their actions. Surprising. Hope you are well. Be of good cheer; we will get through this. At some point, somthing has to give. Take care. Regards, Dave Quimby Ira,
