Woof!

Yep.
So the stock markets are continuing to go down the toilet,
Obama blames Bush and McCain blames the rules,
and ya know what?
Woof!
If economics were a real science with real experts,
this kind of crap would never happen right?
They would rig things so that everything always worked out fine.
But, they're not.
Economists are to financial reality what military music is to music.
My usual news/info sources predicted this crash last year,
and another prediction(several months ago) from my sources stated that there would be a second more devastating drop.....right about now.
So really, it looks like what should have been a "no-brainer" ,
is turning out to be a major calamity,
created by a bunch of "no-brains".
They should have seen it coming,
or maybe they did,
or maybe it's sooooo bad that there isn't shit that anyone can do about it.
Our economy is so tied up to international interests that there isn't much anyone can do without pissing someone else off.
Our experts on both sides of the political aisle have sold us down the river,
caught between a rock and a hard place.
We have the biggest debt in history,
the wars are being fought on credit,
and as soon as our overseas financers can get out from under their dealings with US,
they're gonna ditch us like a bag of dope in a car being chased by the pohleeeeese!

That's our new doggie by the way, she's been running loose and getting into trouble,
so now she's got a home and maybe we can fatten her up a little.........
and teach her some economics!

UPDATE

See, this is exactly what I'm talking about........
I pop open an article titled
10 Banks Form 70B Fund to Stave off Crash
and here's a quote from it that is bound to amuse anyone with a 2nd grade or better math comprehension....
"All the investment banks will be able to borrow up to a third of the $70 billion fund in order to reduce volatility and stay in business while Lehman is being wound down."

All 10 banks will be able to borrow up to a third?
If they were to ask, I'd be happy to close down my woodworking business
and go help them.
