Not to congress.

But I can't wait for the GOP to blame Obama's 4 years of no growth on 'spending' and health care. When it's 12 years of Bush tax cuts and systematic defunding of social programs taking money out of the economy and lining the pockets of Bernie Madoff. The only growth we've had was adding a few hundred billion in to a $14T economy, only to hear it didn't do enough. Cause it wasn't enough money, jackwagons.

No posturing, no matter who's elected I'm seriously considering moving to like Australia or some [expletive]. I'm really concerned about the plutocracy we have here.

A market correction due to a jobless recovery is full steam ahead.

Our Palin-style brand of political economy rankles me, but is it really better anywhere else?

I honestly don't know, I haven't lived else-where. It seems like if you're in the top 5% of income this is the place to be. But for the rest of us? I honestly can't say.

But we're 17th in happiest places to live.

Perhaps I should rename the thread "Our financial system is crumbling this decade."

heyzeus really dropped the ball on that one.

I've I'd had the vision to properly title the thread to reflect what was coming back when I created it, I also would have moved all of my money from mutual funds to ammunition and ice cream sandwiches. No such luck.

I guess I picked the wrong week to go into business for myself. :(

I don't know about you guys but I think it's time to buy. The market is down 1200 in two weeks.

I am not a financial advisor, but I think we're heading lower.
