The republicans (including John McCain) pushed the deregulation of the banking industry so that they and their wealthy campaign contributors could rake in more money. The regulations were put there during the depression because the republicans did bascially the same thing in the 1920''s - they caused a financial meltdown by being too greedy. Who made money in the last 8 years?...the average wage when adjusted for inflation went down. The only people that continued to stock away cash were the wealthy...they did it by buying off republican politicians who changed the policies to favor the wealthy. No wonder the GOP is so out of touch with the average american.

THE GREAT GLOBAL DEPRESSION HAS ARRIVED!!!!!!

No longer will the Great Emperor Bush II have to worry about what his legacy will be! It has already been determined WORLD-WIDE, that his legacy will be one of the being the ABSOLUTE WORST Emperor in history, not only of the USSA, but of the entire world, surpassing that of Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin!

Hitler destroyed Europe!
Stalin destroyed Russia!
Imperialistic Japan destroyed Asia!
But the Great Emperor Bush II has destroyed the ENTIRE WORLD!!!

The anti-Christ has been in our midst all along, supported by wackos on the religious right, neocon Fascist Nazis looking for a return of a "4th Reich", and Corporate America whose only agenda is GGGRRRREEEEEEDDDD!!!!

And look what all these extremists and GREEDY "financial" airheads have given us!!!

SIG HEIL, LET''S GIVE MORE MONEY TO FINANCIAL AMERICA!!!, BUSH!!!
sig heil, WHERE ARE ALL MY FRIENDS???, McBush!!!
sig heil, MY "FIRST DUDE" DID IT!!!, Palin!!!

How about we turn the IRS into a lending institution to the people instead of a collection company abusing the poor and middleclass.

People create runs on a bank, then the bank fails.
Just take a step back and breath. Whatever you sell now at a loss will never be made up. The calm will make a killing when it rebounds, which it will do. Panic helps no one.

The global market was approaching a meltdown point over energy anyway. The movers and shakers just hit the reset button so they can get a fresh run going.
They could care less how many people and families are ruined or destroyed along the way. It doesn''t effect them in their "spas" and resorts or on their yachts and planes. We need to set an example of them along the lines of the French and Marie Antionette. We need to shove so much cake down their gullets that they die of gastromonic overload.

God says print your own worthless paper while you can still afford the ink, just like the government is doing.

That''s the problem jimmy-boy--you have never made a point, you have never stated anything remotely intelligent or factual on any post.

Im voting for McCain because he says our economy is sound. I like people with a possible outlook in hopeless situations.

You''''re wasting your time.

Little Jimmy only likes to complain about people discussing important issues, in discussion forums.

He''''s not intelligent enough to discuss the topics at hand, so he logs on to post complaints about people posting their opinions.

So trying to get him to discuss the topic of conversation is pointless - he''''s just not smart enough to understand.

Everything starts at the top and the "top" in America has been outright raping this country since 911.

How and why these people aren''t in jail is our fault--but with the market falling like it has, we are finally letting them know we no longer trust them.

How can we trust someone who says he can "fix" the economy just give him 700 billion and his decisions are "non-reviewable and may not be reviewed by any court or administrative agency"?
He''s telling us flat out, right from the onset--he can''t be trusted.
The "trickle down" effect from the Bush administration has done a lot of damage, not only to our country, but globally.

The truly rich are sitting pretty right now. They have enough money to weather the storm and are having a great time buying whatever they desire for a song from those becoming desperate enough to sell. Laughing all the while as they traipse on down to the bank.

I believe in most instances, there are 2 Newton%u2019s laws of physics related to emotions. They are for every action, there is like reaction. Then there is the momentum effect.
Emotions can be between individuals, nations or groups of people. You may have hate, good will or panic emotions. We now have worldwide panic when it comes to the worldwide stock markets. This has to do with the momentum effect of emotions.
What may be causing this negative emotion?
I would say it might be our negative presidential campaigns.
It seems our stock markets took a real negative turn when our presidential campaigns also took a real negative turn. This might have to do with 2 of Newton%u2019s laws when it relates to emotions.
I believe when the presidential campaigns stick to the issues and not mudsling, our stock markets will stabilize.

You know some of you libs would go around saying the stock market has lost half its value but I am a conservative and would say the stock market still has half its value. Thats because I am a glass half full type of person.

Well it''s kind of obvious that our current crop of "financial experts" were just a teeny bit off the mark.

I''m from the government or the bank and I''m here to help! Who do you think runs our government? You? LOL
The banking and insurance industries do.

MERRY BUSHMAS CHARLIE BROWN!

Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to George Bush the King!
War on earth, and mercy none,
Bush has evildoers on the run.
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th'' angelic host proclaim,
"Bush is born in Crawfordhem."
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to George Bush King!

Bush, by highest heav''n adored:
Bush, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the favored one.
Veil''d in flesh, the Godhead see;
Hail, th''incarnate Deity:
Pleased, as man, with men to dwell,
George, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!
