We all need to pay attention to this economic crisis

Our government is not known for making good choices in the midst of a crisis. Remember the Patriot Act? Well, now we have a HUGE economic meltdown, and Congress is being asked to sign essentially a blank check. Given that most of them are up for election in less than 6 weeks from now, it’s not going to be easy for them to avoid doing so.

Enter Robert Reich. Instead of a blank check, he suggests some conditions we could put on the check we're clearly going to write.
