Dow Drops 315 Points As Investors React To More Bad Economic News

[colvinatch]

Does anybody remember during the election 3.5 years ago when the Left was loudly saying that four more years of bush would break this country? Welcome to that point.

"And in 2008, the International Council of Shopping Centers projects 6,000 stores could close as Americans decide what they can live without."



Don''''t worry retail stores!!!! Bush and the idiots (sounds like a band but it really is the name of the stupid Bushmeister and the idiotic, azz kissing Congress) are putting together a stimulus package to save you. It goes like this:

1. They borrow 161 billion dollars and give it to the low to mid income American taxpayers.

2. They beg the tax payer to forgo bills/debt and just go out and spend it all at your stores.

3. They have their fingers crossed that people are too ignorant or irresponsible to use the rebate for a bill and actually go out and buy a few things.

4. After each of them spends maybe 25.00 apiece at your store--you are stupid enough to see it as an incentive--and you go out and build new stores and hire lots of new workers to capitalize on the money that ...uhmmm...they no longer have...cuz they already...uhmmmm..spent it at your store.

5. Anyhoo. The plan is for all sides to ignore the dominoes falling and to plant yet another set at the end of the stack. Bush and the idiots only need this to work until Jan 29. 2009 after which (as far as Dubya is concerned) the economy can let ''''er rip.

Gentlemen all : the way things are shaping the next president will be a republican and this spell more of the same. Bush has done with the economy what his bosses in Saudi Arabia wanted , shoot through the roof the oil prices,andtogether with the stupid war creating havoc with our country.

I''ll tell you America you should never allow the Republicans in power again. It is going to take the next 30 years to clean up this mess then another 10 years get us back on track.

Thanks GOP you are god; god of destruction.

Bush worries about how history will treat him.
He should declare, "My goal was to destroy the American dollar".
That way instead of being remembered as an incompetent president who made bad decisions, he would be remembered as a bad decision maker who was brilliant in implementing his agenda.

Great points! The one that probably has the biggest impact is the devaluation of the American dollar triggered by our record deficits.

Apparently the republican way is to put all the wealth into the hands of the few and screw the middle and lower classes. Bushs tax cuts are an example of putting the wealthy and corporate welfare ahead of the average American. The only way thats going to change is when we as Americans use our income level to determine who we should vote for. If that were to happen consider how effective the PACs and lobbists would be.

The belief is that putting all the wealth into the hands of the few will create a trickle down effect that eventually benefit the lower classes. However, it is is flawed because of greed, devaluation of the American dollar and the simple fact that many families will do more to stimulate the economy than a few can.

I am not sure the democrats are much better, but its very obvious the GOP has to be voted out.

The economic security of our nation depends on it.

To Jerr11, you are right on the money!! Everything you have listed, and I am sure there are hundreds, if not thousands of more on your list. This administration has destroyed this country. But if old Bushie Boy says there is no recession, then, since he never, ever lies, etc!!!!
