How would you fix the economy ?

As bad as bailing out the banks was, I suppose it was necessary to prevent a collapse of the financial markets. It's not that the bailout was rotten, it's the financial markets, and the Federal Reserve system that are rotten. As to the stimulus pkg, it could have been better thought out.

Personally, I enjoy seeing people turn out to these tea parties and town halls. It shows that the public is finally taking an interest in politics. And are expecting our elected officials to look after the interests of the citizens, as opposed to the interests of the deep pockets who have put, and kept them in office.

But in the end, I doubt whether anything will improve our lot. I'll continue to turn out and vote for the perceived lesser of two evils, and pray that they don't start another civil war before I'm dead. Kind of a selfish attitude, but then again, why should I be any different than anyone else.

Other than I won't screw you simply because I can.
