anyone paying attention to the economy going down the fucking shitter?

The Dow took a major hit yesterday morning (within 5 minutes of trading being open it fell almost 500 points!!) Even with the outrageous cut, traders were actually happy to recover about half of that fall, by the close of session. This is a classis case of “holy shit gentlemen, we gotta scramble”, except with a generous helping of fail on their part. Too little too late and somewhat misguided

my roommate up here is the commodities trader for the natural gas producer I work for. He says that we’re pretty much fucked unless someone does something drastic. He was a big Giuliani supporter until I showed him some shit about Ron Paul. He LOVES his economic policy and is now a supporter.
