A Mess

Dear Charlotte,

As I'm sure you know, this country and the world are in a major financial upheaval. I've not really understood what is going on, except that it has a lot to do with subprime mortgages and execs getting multi-million dollar bonuses. Here is an article that describes exactly how we got where we are today. It is the best explanation I have found. So read it. And then tell your friends and families to read it. I think that in order to fix our current problems, we need to be informed about what they are and how we got here. And I'm telling you now, it ain't the folks in Washington and on Wall Street who made this mess that are going to get us out of it. Just in case you didn't click on that first link, here it is again. Now you have no excuse. Be informed. Make a choice. Vote for honest people (if you can find any). And prepare for the future.
