The Killer Bs: Bubbles, Bailouts, Bear Stearns, Black Monday

Market collapse? Taxpayer-funded bailouts? Whither Wall Street on this beautiful Monday morning?

Hey, hey, DJA, how many points will you lose today?

Glad I keep our retirement fund in a Mason jar under the sink.

 

Blame Bush, boys.

 

I am not a politico by any stretch, but this has to be on the head of our President, right? Does the root of this collapse fall at the feet of his regime?

Since 2000...
we have had a major terrorist attack on American soil
a city virtually collapse and our government drag its feet in getting aid to the people
our military involved in an almost unwinnable war that we might not even need fighting
gas pushing $3.50 a gallon
the housing market collapsing
the dollar losing its strength exponentially
Wall Street hanging by a thread

What more can happen?

Is this the worst job by a President ever? And to think he was actually reelected.

 

Well, we could get nuked. That would suck.

My vote for worst president would be Buchanan. The country actually split during his presidency. Last I checked, there's still 50 states in the U.S., although some little towns in Vermont keep wanting to secede.
