People Must Find Moral Compases  06/23/09 12:01 AM

DON GEHRING We find ourselves in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. It is the economic equivalent of 9/11. Most assuredly, there is plenty of blame to be shared by both government, for its failure to provide adequate oversight, and the private sector, for its catastrophic bad judgment and greed. While that much is clear, solutions to the crisis we find ourselves in are much less clear. Reasonable minds differ on the Obama administration’s stimulus package. The economic “experts” are all over the lot in terms of their “solutions.“ For the average American the complexities of our economic system are befuddling and arcane. In fact, most of us are still reeling from the reality of what we have lost over the past several months. We are afraid to open our financial statements because we have come to expect only bad news.
