“By their own admission, economists don’t know what’s happening, why it’s happening or how it happened. I don’t buy it for a nano-second.”

Me either Felicity. Not buying this shit AT ALL. They’ve known for over a decade exactly how this was gonna play out. They just jacked up the timing.

Then again, maybe they DIDN’T jack up the timing, considering your suggestion that this might just be the excuse to cancel the elections.

I mean, it’s really the only thing that makes sense. They’ve spent the past 8 years literally stealing everything that isn’t nailed down, and laundered trillions of our dollars through the sands of Iraq and Afghanistan, to lead straight to their off shore accounts, where the money is probably stored in gold. The escape paradise has already been developed..what more is there?

Then there’s the stationing of US troops on US soil to handle ‘civil disruptions’ and rumors of martial law that I never paid much attention to until now. (I’ll come back with the link to that piece).

Credit is so tight that I can’t even finance a textbook, and one needn’t be an economist to know what it means when the flippin’ stock market crashes.

The ‘timing’ is just too damn convenient. But, at least we’re in California. We can always beg the Native inhabitants for survival help, and then just hope that we are deserving enough of a response.

This is exactly what TAO Walker has been trying to prepare us for. I’m convinced that the plan was to get rid of all of us, so they could have the place to themselves, but I’m not leaving. AND…I’m handy with knives…

Finally Paulson is pretending to listen to the people.

    NATIONALIZE THE BANKS!  hANG THE BANKERS!

Or take away their money anyway.

I live in Texas. Would it not be something if Texas went democratic as it did in the previous depression?

This is Bush’s final middle finger to everyone but the haves and the have mores.

Fuck you, poor people.

He has done some other things in his “last hurrah” days.:
Changin the endangered specise act—Fuck you , animals.
Selling nukes all over the world. Fuck you , planet.
Denying SCHIP—Fuck you , children.
Insisting on the FISA amendment: Fuck you , USA.

If the chickens are coming home to roost, they have bad aim.

Paulson is treasonous swine. Guillotine darn it and start the REVOLUTION!!!

FENWICK - You don’t suppose McCain’s ‘calling off’  his campaign because of the economic ‘crisis’ was but a forerunner of Bush ‘calling off’ the election (for the same reason?)  And we all thought bomb, bomb, bomb Iran would nix the election.

On to Paulson.  By their own admission, economists don’t know what’s happening, why it’s happening or how it happened. I don’t buy it for a nano-second.  On the other hand - an economist is the expert who can’t tell you tomorrow why what he forecast yesterday didn’t happen today.
