The Cost of Inaction
By Alejandra Owens, September 30, 2008 11:56 AM
Yesterday, we watched the Dow plummet 778 points. It plummeted because Congress voted down the rescue package. And frankly, they failed to offer any solution to American families.
Slowly but surely our fears are becoming reality and the cost of Congress' inaction at this moment is resulting in lower home values, retirement dreams lost and younger generations losing opportunities of their own.
Opinions are abound and vary wildly. Where do you stand on this? Have you lost a dream yet? Do you stand to lose a dream? All we know at this point, is that Congress must do something, and they must do it fast.
