We already know a lot about the problem, but not enough about how to best resolve. So far, nothing has worked, with respect to the bail-out on Wall Street. Wasn't the bail-out supposed to prevent something like this from happening?. It's a gamble to brainstorm for new ideas and actually implement them, but the worst thing we could do at this point, is to do nothing.

Simply collecting unemployment insurance is fine for the immediate term, but we've literally got to re-invent ourselves and there is no longer the luxury of time, I believe. At the same time, we've got to protect what resources we still have, while there's still precious time left. If we're going to come up with something, everybody must be invited to the table to address this; otherwise, the dis-invited ones who had a potential solution, will not be heard and then Oregon's citizens are the ones who will suffer for it. Do we want that to happen? I should think not! Let's rally our people! Let's turn crisis into opportunity! For all of us! We're in it together! We have more power than we think we do!
