After Steep Early Decline Followed By Rate Cut, Stocks Limp Upward

[micma-2009]

When Bush is faced with a problem that he doesn''t understand, you can always count him to come up with a solution that has already proven not to work. In most cases he just, "stays the course".

So we can expect more big tax cuts for wealthy individuals and corporations followed by a few crumbs for the working class.

I liken the American corporations who decide they didn''t need a healthy American worker to survive to crack addicts who decide they don''t need a healthy body to survive. Everything they were getting, even their investments on derivatives over derivatives, was really based on the financial health of their American workers and customers. But like idiot demon-infested crack addicts, they decided they could somehow kill the body of America and still exist and be profitable. So they attacked and attacked and attacked, more ruthless of an enemy than any terrorist, they took our jobs, our safety net, our freedom, our right to be paid overtime, our houses and land from us, unitl we are weak and broken without any money or initiative or hope. And surprise - these same stupid corporations are now finding themselves going out of business. Where are our customers? You KILLED THEM YOU DIRTY CORPORATE FREAKS.

They though they would somehow make their money on the Chinese economy or sth after they had wrecked America - God *** you To Hell. The Chinese economy is weak, all smoke and mirrors, their corruption is terrible and endemic.

God *** the traitor corporations to Hell. They were merciless and tireless in their attacks on America, let us be merciless and tireless on our prosecution and imprisonment of these outlaws. Let us track them down and bring them justice, which is more chance than they ever gave to us.

You gotta love the rich. When the middle class was being dismembered and the jobs sold off overseas, the elite did not care less. When the war in Iraq started, the rich applauded it, for they could make more money off the back of U.S. and Iraqi citizens, and they would be safe from the war. Now that the stock market is convulsing like a seizure victim, the rich want to screw over the middle class one more time to bail their pampered ***** out of the fire they helped create.

I guess the Republicans'' plan to solve everything by cutting taxes on the wealthy, while instigating and continuing an occupation in Iraq paid for with borrowed money, is finally coming home to roost. Why did anyone think these people would be better on the economy than on anything else they''ve managed to ruin??

What is required is in some ways simple to describe: it amounts to ceasing our current behavior and doing exactly the opposite. It means not spending money that we don%u2019t have, increasing taxes on the rich, reducing corporate welfare, strengthening the safety net for the less well off, and making greater investment in education, technology, and infrastructure.

When it comes to taxes, we should be trying to shift the burden away from things we view as good, such as labor and savings, to things we view as bad, such as pollution. With respect to the safety net, we need to remember that the more the government does to help workers improve their skills and get affordable health care the more we free up American businesses to compete in the global economy. Finally, we%u2019ll be a lot better off if we work with other countries to create fair and efficient global trade and financial systems. We%u2019ll have a better chance of getting others to open up their markets if we ourselves act less hypocritically%u2014that is, if we open our own markets to their goods and stop subsidizing American agriculture.

Yes,,thats what I meant. Thats why I capitalised "WE", to signafy that point. Sorry for the confusion.

We cannot destroy this earth, unless we start dropping bombs........Hang on, I don''t want give shrub any ideas!

Bush''s insane policies have led us into the dire situations we now face. The world is well aware of this. Which is why they are not responding confidently to Bu$h''s plan to fix the problem.

Whoever moves into the White House in January 2009 will face an unenviable set of economic circumstances. Extricating the country from Iraq will be the bloodier task, but putting America%u2019s economic house in order will be wrenching and take years.

I hope Baby Bush doesn''t have the b.a.l.l.s. to use the White House for his daughter''s wedding when our country has been already robbed my this corrupt administration. That would be the final and ultimate slap in the face!
