that this crisis might engender is the disassociation of our national politics from the emotional barometer which is the stock market. Frankly I couldn't care less if the market tanks and the high-rollers get their financial backs broken (I'm all in cash) ...if we don't stop thinking that their continuing gluttony is somehow good for the rest of us then we deserve what we get. Thank-you congress people (no matter what your motivation) for putting a bullet in that turkey. Paulson should be arrested on suspicion of fraud...and Bush....well what can anyone say at this point? The man is no longer a man...just a set of erroneous impulses...like a squid with damaged DNA.
