    maybe its mass hypnosis or a mass induced nightmare…in either case I wish we’d all wake up and this would be over and our country would be restored to what it once was where the rule of law and Of The People, By The People, and For The People was still a founding principle and actually followed by our so called leaders….

    tiredofit08, common sense is no longer common, rule of law has no rules, and logic is anything but. When did this happen? Did it happen so slowly we did not notice until too late, like the frog in boiling water?
    It didn’t happen overnight, but I suspect is has a great deal to do with the dumbing down of American schools…they expect no responsibility or critical thinking within their walls.

    That’s why The President is safe, at least from the Right. If Biden was sworn in he’d ‘Have another stroke on the plane from Dallas’ and Pelosi would be in charge.
    Nobody with a Conservative bone in their body would risk it.

    trickle up? i always thought trickle was about stuff runnin down hill as it runs out.

    we arent runnin out although we may be runnin down hill right now.

    the market is going to destroy this presidency- if u can call it that.

    right now i am looking at a basket of stocks under 5 bucks that are set to blow sky high in spite of the government’s lunacy.

    and that rising tide will float boats smart enough to have found a safe harbor in the water while Moron’s run the treasury.

    the media would have us believe “capital has dried up”…it has for companies completely dependent upon borrowing against the value of their stock.

    my company isnt doing that. we are riding out the storm and plotting the strategy that will position us once this Dunce in the White House has been discredited and the adults that are left in Congress can get on with sewing up the banking system (what is left of it).

    my company also has invested capital in new assets and products which are built for consumption by customers during a recession. there is no travel money or at least less of it….so take the products and services in a virtual format to our customers.

    this isnt trickle anything. it is making hay. lots of it whether markets are up or down…and being ready to strike the moment this boondoggle shows signs of thinning.

    when the media and the government are crying doom and gloom, i am investing in the “disasters”.

    just my two devalued cents.

    The real issue is that words can affect the value of our currency, and the stock market. These are sheep who rely on feelings vice reality. The notion that the dollar will no longer be the primary vehicle of commerce is ridiculous and that people acted on a suggestion, not adequately addressed by Geithner, is far more scary.

    The response should have not been a change in the exchange rate with the Euro, but laughter.

    I am not dismissing words, and their impact, but when the words are silly and decisions are made based on feelings solicited by those words, we need to get a grip.
