Five Common-Sense Confidence Builders

Mark,
I agree with your points but I believe that point 5 needs serious amplification. In times of substantial national interest, politics need to be set aside and the political representatives need to take timely corrective action.
Most business leaders would not be afforded continued opportunities to lead given the performances similar to both sides of the current political representatives in Washington.
Now even as our nation and possibly the entire free world stands at the threshhold of a brutal economic period, fingers are pointed every where, but no one has the guts to accept responsibility and enfuse confidence into the general public.
This is not a Dem problem, this is not a Rep problem, this is the invention of actors using a system to enhance their opportunity to continue acting. Freddie and Fannie were given the chance to put a lot of 'unqualified' people in mortgaged homes for the purpose of gaining political favortism. Wall Street saw an opportunity to line their pockets as long as the bubble stayed wafting along.
I agree those responsible for this tragedy need to be prosecuted to the fullest, Wall St execs, corrupt attorneys, irresponsible accountants and especially irresponsible political leaders.
