“How do we rebuild cities with empty homes and no jobs? When does economic recovery really
happen? Have we become a nation that is good at destroying things (i.e. school programs, health
services, libraries) and the salaries that go with them?” Smiley added. “If this is true, what should
be our response as the citizenry to take part in the recovery? Perhaps we are the ones with the
answers as opposed to government or even big business. “
