The Shift back Right

What we will be learning this week and into next week is that our economic landscape is constantly shifting and changing. As the needs of the citizens change in the economy, so does the government response. Each system has its pros and cons, and like I've said several times, a large part of what you need to determine is which government actions you see as the "right" solution to the economic situation.
