Good job. You just identified the problem. The solution is not to
fundamentally change the basis of our form of government or economy.

I'm not calling to fundamentally change our form of government or
economy, yet. But if this spirals out of control, and we end up with
breadlines, I might. Something is fundamentally flawed when a few fat
cats can bring down the world's economy. Business cycles are one thing,
market crashes are another.



It is a very serious aberration. If we can survive the ramifications and
correct the loopholes that allowed them, we will be ok.

It's not time to over-react or allow those with a different agenda to
control our destiny.

We need to take our lumps, fix the problem and get on with it.

Oh we'll be OK. One thing I have learned about this country, it is
incredibly resilient.

Yeah but, that's a tough sell to the 1/2 million people who lost their
jobs last month. Their lumps are considerably bigger than our lumps.

Yeah, I don't think we can afford to just sit around and do NOTHING.

It may be a less costly wrong thing. This recession could be worse than the
1973 one, but it may be the cause of hyperinflation and total meltdown of
the economic system if the government throws trillions and trillions of
dollars out there by printing money and not targeting real root causes.

How would you suggest "the government" target the real root cause, which
is unbridled greed on the part of the very wealthy?
