Working Harder

I think we actually got into the recession in the first place because wwe tried and worked harder at all the wrong things without any regards to checks and balances whether internal or external.

The problem does not lie in the "harder" equation but more in HARDER at what. The innovation and creativity comes into play ensuring that the fundamentals of the economy and the way we approach it are sound. As in all human activities the pendlum swings to the other side with a vengance and we will put checks and balances that will invariably go way beyond what is required. Once we have defined what is it that we need to fix it then yes, by all means let us all work and try harder.
