it’s time for a third party. better late than never. the dow dropped to 8500 today, another 679 points down. we have now lost over 2.5 trillion dollars in 3-1/2 weeks and the democrats and republicans knew it was coming, and they didn’t tell us, didn’t introduce legislation that would help with a financial crisis before this debacle. just like some medieval kingdom, we’ve been royally screwed. these scum in both parties have been helping themselves to build global portfolios shaped by worthless mortgage backed securities that led to this catastrophe. indeed, both parties knew because it’s been some time since the interest on mortgages stopped coming in. or, didn’t you know that.
