Rosh Hashanah and the Financial Crisis

Drudge had a great headline today, Rush Hashanah. Sorry to be so irreligious, but if it's the greatest crisis in the financial system in 80 years, shouldn't some of our Jewish lawmakers get on the stick? And Congress won't do anything till Thursday because of the Jewish New Year, but the markets are open? Help me, rabbi. Is this Koufax not going to the mound in the Series on Yom Kippur because he had to represent his people, or is this Lieberman promising that if he was elected veep, he would come to work on Saturday if the Russians were coming? May I point out for the 500th time that Jews are now principals in the American establishment? Will others wake up to this now? Is this a defining moment? Is it good for the Jews that these legislators are going back to their districts when the economy is in flames? As I read Israel Shahak's book on Jewish fundamentalism, some rabbis might say that it is actually important to treat the economy on a holy day so as to fend off the resentment of gentiles.
