Okay Enough

The American Public needs to calm down.

No, I'm not talking about Swine Flu. That's later. Or maybe it was earlier. Can't tell.

I"m talking about the TARP fund panic that simmers at a low heat most of the time but bubbles up whenever people feel the need.

I just had an amusing call.

I answered the phone, as I always do at work, "Hello, American Law Division"

The irate woman on the other end sputters "AMERICAN LOAN DIVISION! What is this country coming too! NOW WE"RE JUST GIVING OUT SO MUCH MONEY THAT WE NEED A WHOLE DIVISION TO KEEP TRACK OF IT!"

I very calmly replied, "Ma'am, I said American LAW Division."

Her reply: "Oh. I have the wrong number." and she hung up.

People, please. Get a grip, and try to deal with this calmly and rationally. I know its hard, but everyone will get through this if we just don't panic.
