Mark, most Americans probably do see the economy as a baffling mechanism. But what they see more clearly is their vanishing nesteggs. My 401k Fund has lost over 50 percent of its value since Bush took office, and I'm not alone. Wall Street Reform needs to take place immediately, and I'm afraid Bush and Cheney are not going to turn over very many rocks when their past transactions may be hiding under one of them. A dirty broom rarely makes a clean sweep.

Wall Street should be the current number one priority for this administration, but we are getting lip service only. I don't think Americans have the patience to wait until things have sorted themselves out. There needs to be a firm hand on the wheel of the economy right now, not someone asleep behind it.
