As I sit here and watch two “professional economic experts” (one republican and one democrat) duke it out on CNN, I wonder to myself the importance of their conversation. I mean all they do is yell and rudely interrupt each other as they make their opinions be heard on national television. One says were not in a recession yet, while the other says we are nearing a great collapse that has never been seen in a country before. All their bickering just frustrates me and the same thing goes on in the US House of Representatives and the Senate. As we all learned in economics class, it takes a while for a stimulus package or change in spending to affect the economy. We all know that our economy is in a bad state whether we are in a recession or not but no one is doing anything about it. I have been hearing talk about a so called “rescue plan” since October and yet no one in Washington will let go of their bipartisan differences and genuinely work together to quickly come up with a plan. Everyday that passes without a solution just deepens our economy’s wounds. This is a problem that greatly affects our daily lives and I hope someone in D.C. can do something about it. Politicians must set aside their bipartisan biases and work together to keep our country on top of the world. We voted for change and as a result were promised hope and change for a new united America. Time will only tell if what we voted for comes true.

You should probably send this to every politicain in this country right now! They need to relize that they need to put aside their differences and look at the big picture. And the last sentence you wrote fits perfectly, i think a lot of people are feelin the same way right now.
