Never Let A Serious Crisis Go To Waste

Those are the words of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel who used that thinking to help propel initiatives like the federal stimulus, cap and trade, healthcare, and more. In other words, when you have a chance to pass legislation you normally wouldn’t, load up the wish list and go for it because you might not get another chance for a generation. Of course, on the flip side, you can use a crisis to prevent legislation you don’t like from ever becoming law.
