Compromise Will Lead Us Forward

From the fall of 2008 through the winter of 2009, we witnessed unstable economic conditions that placed the country on the brink of economic collapse. Anyone who was not gravely concerned at the time was not paying close enough attention. In the face of much opposition, several key pieces of legislation — TARP, the stimulus package and the automotive bailout — stabilized our economy. This was done under the leadership of President Bush and President Obama. The idea that a turnaround of our economy in four years to anything close to what it was in 2007 is unrealistic. In reading the letters in the JT over the past few weeks, one would think that the country has fallen apart, spiraling out of control. There is much work to be done. If the opposition were to make as its goal the betterment of the American people and not the defeat in the upcoming election of President Obama, this country could move forward quicker. We are all Americans; differing views help to make us a better place. Compromise is what will lead us forward.
