While we need to concentrate on the here and now, we also have to be conscious of the fact that the economy of the entire planet is in freefall, and every change made now has the potential of a butterfly effect. Varadker isn't just standing in front of the nation reading from a script, he's managing the country and he appears to be doing as good a job as can be expected. We won't actually know for a good while whether his actions, and those of the people surrounding him, will be successful, but I think he's inspiring confidence and hope, and I think we need that right now.
