Do A Good Job

The last few weeks have been ridiculous when it comes to economic policy. Until pretty recently, Wall Street was something that I thought I could pretty safely ignore; I figured "It's the market, it can handle itself, we're not in the 1930's anymore".

Needless to say, I've been putting a lot of effort towards trying to understand what happened, why it happened, and whether or not this bailout plan will fix it. Since I've been reading the Wall Street Journal to do that, I've had to take a crash course in economics, which I've really never been good at because, as I've said, up until recently I was pretty safe in ignoring it.

Long story short, when it comes to this, is that I don't have enough time to get to know what's going on in time to have an educated opinion on this. I know a little about markets, a little about what happened and what the idea behind the proposed fix is, but that's it. I have to trust our elected representatives to do what's right, and hope they do a good job.

This was a very bad time for me to re-engage in politics, but there's nothing for it now.
