Time to Fire Some People
Last weekend was the last full weekend in March..... and we had Snow. Its time to take a hard stand on this kind of issue. Join with me and demand the immediate firing of all of the Weathermen that predicted the snow. And maybe its time for some ground hog stew...
Yes, everyone agrees that this is "silly", and yet this is what is passing for political discourse in large parts of the United States today. Instead of looking for real solutions to problems, or at least partially workable solutions, we continue to identify, in over simple terms, the problems. The problem is that the Banks engaged in Bad Lending practices combined with overpaying their executives. Big problem. Easy to identify. But there are no easy solutions. Cutting bonuses?? Great theory. Don't know whether this will work in practice. Banks? A big problem. They should have been regulated earlier. But that Horse has already left the barn? What's the solution? Its complex and will not work overnight (although the Banks should not be allowed to "balance" the loses by ratcheting up the pressure on consumer credit products even further...)
