Whatever happened to accountability from the CEOs? Do we all really make the assumption that the President of the United States is responsible for every little failure that happens in America. This sounds more like a parent who chooses to accept responsibility for every time their child falls and gets a scrape on their arm or leg.

When we ever get around to taking personal responsibility for ourselves, our government, and our economy, we might see changes that will make this world a better place. Of course, we all have different agendas, different world views, etc., but there is no way our economy will recover until we as a nation choose a vision that we can believe in strongly. That vision is not going to come from a political leader. That vision will come from those of us who can change our attitude and give us confidence in buying again. Does this mean there won't be any more crooks out there. Of course not! It only means that we must be patient in searching for a new innovation from private enterprise that will solve the crisis. We just need to understand that everything is an investment whether or not we get the anticipated value returned from the value we give for it. We are all taking risks that we will get value for value in everything we buy.
