Never forget this day. This is what we will be telling our grandchildren

[Peacetrain]

This is a day that an entire party, (the republicans) took a Hoover jump into the ocean, dragging the American economy, with it.

This is the day, that the United States lost its standing in the world economically.

Send the message out, and write it down in your computers, because we are living in a moment in history

1. Hoover jump is right. Live and die by the markets.

So much for socialism being the evil. All along it was laize faire capitalism.

[Peacetrain]

3. Listening to CNN, they said, that our bank cards may not work tomorrow

????.. the talking heads are panicking..

[Curious_Quebec2]

14. They really said that? n/t

[Peacetrain]

15. It was one of the talking heads explaining how the credit crisis could affect main street

and yep that is the example they used.

[HereSince1628]

2. It's still got a few minutes. No point in recording the depth of the plunge yet.

[soothsayer]

4. Oh, the drama of it all! Good grief, get ahold of yourselves.

We'll get through this, and we MAY even get a better bill----one that doesn't make Paulson god, and let them cover up all of the crimes (ok, who am I kidding--of course they will cover up the crimes).

[Terran]

5. Oh good lord drama queen

Hyperbole much? There are other, better ways to fix this problem. You are letting youself be sucked in by Bush Administration propaganda.

[Peacetrain]

6. You can keep the name calling to yourself.

This was the largest number drop ever in the stock market.

[PaulaFarrell]

8. but far from the greatest ever % drop

1929
1987

[Peacetrain]

9. That is true..I think not even the top ten I heard, but money wise.. 1 trillion..largest ever

[Terran]

11. Yeah, and?

The market goes up, it goes down. It will go back up. Geez I can think of some things I would tell grandchildren about, had I been there. A 700 point drop in the market isn't one of them.

[Peacetrain]

12. Have a cookie..

they go great with milk.

[high density]

7. Whoopty ding, the stock market went down 7%.

[Bucky]

10. It's a big deal because the factors driving that drop still haven't been fixed.

It'll keep dropping tomorrow. It'll keep dropping until Congress comes up with a workable security blanket for Wall Street.

[Guaranteed]

13. Then it'll just have more room to go back up again. nt
