Summary

This is about the article entitled “Who’s Conversation Is It?” written by Jacob Heilbrunn from the “Week In Review” section of the New York Times.

This Article is about the sour economy. Right now, everybody is worrying about the economy, the financial slump that the people in the White House refuse to recognize as the recession. They are worried about what they are financial future is shaping up to be. The sour economy is not the only thing that people are worried about; so far, we have seen people lose their houses, their homes, and even more importantly their jobs. For some families the literally have no financial support.

One of the reasons why we are in the financial situation that we are in right now is because of a certain decision that we made back in 2003. That decision was to go to war because if we look at how much money we spent on this war in Iraq from 2003 up until this point I guarantee you that total far surpasses the proposed 700 billion dollar bailout plan. When we attacked on September 11 2001, we reacted based mostly and strongly on emotion instead of thinking rationally. At the end, this article asks a good question and that question is “Have we learned anything from our past mistakes or what we are going through right now?” The answer to this question right is obviously no because we are in a senseless war where as we are in a lose-lose situation. The reason why we are in a lose-lose situation if we win the war or not we are going to end up paying even more because of the economy right now all in the midst of bringing in a new president, who will then have to deal with this situation, which seems to get worse as everyday passes as we get closer to Election Day.
