Op/Ed: What the Bailout (Assistance) Really Means:
Well, it is official. Whether we like it or not, we as a nation are locked into bailout (assistance, really) for Wall Street. But will the average man in the street (what every TV pundit and talk show host refers to as Main Street) really be ok with the passing of this assistance package? No one really knows, as a financial crisis like this has never happened before in the history of this great nation. No history means no frame of reference. Our financial system is a very complex interweaving of Wall Street and Main Street, both locally and globally. However, there are components of this quagmire (which is what it really is) that is our financial system that should be explained to and understood by the public so that one can understand not only why this assistance package is needed (House and Senate representatives you may want to sit in on this tutorial, as it may save you more embarrassment in the future) -- but why it is needed now.

Op/Ed: How Did We Get Here In The First Place?:
One cannot argue that with all of the rhetoric, political posturing and PORK being introduced to the general public over the last 2 weeks, we have been educated about one thing: we as a country are in a whole lot of trouble. Yes, the bill for Banking Assistance (Bailout) was passed in both the House and Senate and signed into law. But, the question that still remains is, how did we get here? It would be easy to pile all the blame on the Bush Administration, which would be thoroughly justified. But it goes deeper than Bush. The first part of this catastrophe falls on Alan Greenspan and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) members who directed Federal Policy during the turn of this century. The second part falls on Bush and his attempt to be Regeanesque in creating his own form of Economics, Bushenomics. The third part falls on Wall Street; the forth part falls on Congress; and last but not least, the fifth part falls on us. Read in Full >>
