Post. Is it all about money?

This is what I call a busy week for the American news that spread out of the borders. We knew on Monday that the Enron process began. The POST comes up with a poll about confidence of the americans about the economy, which can be indeed a dangerous tool. If 40% of the participants do not believe in business-related affairs, this is bad news for the economy. But, after all, it's a poll.

What happened in Enron, though, is a state of the art deception. Massive and at all levels, the unconvered Enron bankruptcy meant that they were lying to us, to the people -source, in the end, of their wealth-. And that lie didn't came only from the "bigger fishes", but from all levels. In one word, disappointing. Some point up that the healing has begun, but I wouldn't be that optimistic.

Better news were brought the following day with Mr. Greenspan's retirement and the positive vote for Judge Alito. We can congratulate the ousting chairman of the Federal Reserve for two decades of top-notch service. He left proudly, so he deserves recognition for that.

As to the final vote on Alito, we made it! The Bush administration can finally congratulate itself to have put the Republican Party back together -almost- in order to back up one candidate to the Supreme Court. It was, sincerely, no surprise, since Alito was not an anonymous within Republican circles, as it was that Kennedy's democrats voted massively against him.

In the end, we can realize that many matters are at hand. Some good, some not that good, but in the end, this week leaves a good balance after all.
