Hello everyone,
Once again it is an election year, and once again we face the same problems of war without end, people without health care, a Congress without a backbone, and political leadership without the ability or will to face up to an environmental crisis. Now add to that an economy on the brink of disaster.

The subprime crisis poses a huge threat to our economic well-being. If not handled correctly, it could feed into a vicious cycle of foreclosures, falling land prices, falling consumption, layoffs, and bankruptcies. The first priority must be to try to keep people in their houses. International and financial market confidence in the American economy has already eroded significantly, and things could get much, much worse.
