It starts as a verbal nod in the direction of the recession, and opens the door to long-winded retorts of guilt and solution. If I hear one more unqualified person profess their theories of recession breaking tactics, I am going to lose it. Every day, I am subject to their rants about the economy. Every time, they propose their ridiculous economic band-aids. They scoff the administration's attempts as feeble, and blame everyone for the mess we all created. In no way is the government perfect, but in the matter of saving this country financially; I place my trust in the Ivy League graduates who eat, sleep, and breathe the market rather than the plumber fixing my toilet.
