They just said on the news that it is the biggest drop since 9-11-01.someone on the radio said that this is the biggest event in the stockmarket since the great depression. is that true?[/b]
I don't think you can blame it on the Senate. Banks giving loans to some people that they knew would not be able to afford sooner or later, is the problem. There are only so many houses that are really worth half a million dollars or more. And what kind of income does it take to actually make the mortgage payments and all the other bills? Then add in the gas price increase which increased all the other living expenses. I think that it will, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better. If you want to put the blame on the politicians, then look to the current administration. But, I don't think they had much to do with it. Has to do with banks and people with little forsight.the banks made their bed and now they don't have to lay in it, because those of us who pay our bills are going to bail them out!!!! it sux. those of us who are responsible with our money are ultimately the ones who are getting completely screwed on all these so called bail outs. it really pi$$es me off.
bueller, sorry to hear that you are a victim of this screwy economy. you will find another job and be just fine. good luck!!
i honestly don't think any of our jobs are set in concrete right now. i just want to point out that the economy didn't start to take a sh!t until the democrats took over the senate. its been all downhill from there. think about it.[/b]

yes....damn straight ^ my view is that this is the real blow, the real damage from 9-11. the terrorists goal was not to just bring down a building and kill 3000 people...it was to strike a blow to our economy and create a cycle of bandages to fix the damage, all the while the first big fix was to spur the housing market and make the economy grow , but that created more problems, then money spent on the war hurts even more...now we have created more problems that will take years to fix...Americans can recover from a loss of people and pride, but the damage to our wallets will end up dragging us down for years to come... im just venting, not trying to make everyone see it the way i do, but its JMOJust to clear the air.. It was not the banks that created this problem, it was greedy investors willing to take risk for huge gain, banks were just the "means to the end".[/b]
i am not completely blaming it on the senate. i just don't think it is any coincidence that the economy started to take a dump when the democrats took over the senate.
i 100% agree with you that it was poor lending practices that has caused this banking collapse. however, it is the senate that regulates what kind of guidelines lenders have to follow. and it is the senate that has decided to bail out these failing banking giants. i don't know if bailing them out is good or bad for you and i. all i know is that it is bullsh!t to bail these companies out with our tax dollars when they did it to themselves. plain and simple. its not the government bailing these companies out. its you and i.[/b]
