It's a gamble but it seems the only way is to give the economy a kick start and saving the banks and the leading industries such as the automakers, should bring some confidence. It's going slow for the US because congress refuses to make any real changes to Wall street and the banking system and big business is holding back investing.
It may be that the US emerges from this set back as not the pre-eminent economy, but out gunned by Europe and China. |
The trouble is every goverment for the last 50 years has been giving the economy a 'kick start'. Its like trying to get a car to accelerate when its already going at 120.
