I can understand canceling Letterman to work on the economics crisis. I cannot understand canceling the debate. We're talking about a couple hours on a Friday night. If the politicians in Washington do their jobs and work together for a resolution to this crisis, there will be a bill in place by Friday night. I think they should change the focus of the debate from foreign policy to the economy but it should still be held.
ETA: I've solved the problem. The government can just pay off all of our mortgages and we will then flood the economy purchasing stuff with all of our extra cash
