Taming the Beast


Copy and Posted by Yi Xin Jin (Lily)


We’re now in the midst of an epic financial crisis, which ought to be at the center of the election debate. But it isn’t.


Now, I don’t expect presidential campaigns to have all the answers to our current crisis — even financial experts are scrambling to keep up with events. But I do think we’re entitled to more answers, and in particular a clearer commitment to financial reform, than we’re getting so far.


In truth, I don’t expect much from John McCain, who has both admitted not knowing much about economics and denied having ever said that. Anyway, lately he’s been busy demonstrating that he doesn’t know much about the Middle East, either.
