収束ゾーンでのライフ: Life in the Convergence Zone

Yanno...I honestly have no idea what the heck is being batted around these days when it comes to the economy. One talking head says one thing, one says another. As for these idiots pointing fingers about who caused it, I'm still not seeing any legislation that addresses the mess we're in. It doesn't help when there are reports coming in about companies going under, but the execs getting the major payoffs.

What I can't understand is how spending ourselves deeper in debt is going to help matters when it seems that it would be more prudent to say "We're going to freeze spending for the next 4 years...review our spending programs, cut what we can, and get the debt down." But then again, I can't understand the stock market...it seems more like a very expensive game of monopoly to me.
