The current economic crisis has graphically illustrated the complexity of issues that keep our national ship of state afloat. Recovery is not just about the stock market and the soundness of our banks. Productivity is connected to our immigration policies. Personal solvency is connected to our healthcare systems. Jobs are connected to foreign markets. Foreign markets are connected to diplomatic relations. And on and on. It is impossible to focus on one issue without focusing on another.
