<<<After the 1987 stock market crash, the Brady Commission produced a lengthy and useful report in only 60 days. Global financial markets are poorly understood by many policymakers. Before we spend trillions of dollars and go down a path of radical restructuring, we should appoint an independent commission and develop an accurate picture of what took place.>>> If government does not recognise this threat, can the private sector come up with a similar type report? You would think republican think tanks can produce a similar type document that republicans can rally behind. You would think that would be better than going around talking about how the Obama administration is making such terrible decisions. Just saying no and repeating tired old slogans (like smaller government, democracy, freedom, socialism, spend, spend, spend etc) is not cutting it.
