[Ichingcarpenter]

[Subdivisions]

5. As well as Schumer coming out and offering the rumor of another RTC. n/t

[HereSince1628]

3. Yup.

Does it make you suspect that Dubai just bought most of the US?

[RoyGBiv]

6. They just bought the rest of it ...

... what the Chinese don't already own, that is.

7. Without a healthy injection of foreign money the dow would have tanked...

in fact if it the money was injected into society instead of the wealthy's pockets, we would be in far better shape then we are now.

So the dow dropped from a high of 14,093 back in oct of 2007 to 11,018 today. I feel sooooooo much better now. :eyes:

I'm running out to buy that SUV right now!!!

As long as the fed keeps pumping our money into the market, they can continue to maintain the guise that the economy isn't "all that bad".

Basically what is happening is they keep shocking it with the paddles, the heart beats for a few days, then it goes into cardiac arrest again. Why?

As long as you keep treating the symptoms and not the cause, this will keep happening.

The nations in a stagflation recession with whole swaths of the nation in a down right depression.

As long as they keep paying the rich to remain rich and keep neglecting the poor, this up and down cycle of insanity will continue until after the election. That is what they want.

They are dancing as fast as they can to keep the market and the economy from dropping through the floor as long as mcinsane appear to have a snowballs chance in hell of winning in Nov.

I guarantee you, once Obama wins they are going to pull out all the stops and let it free fall. Suddenly there will be no more bailouts or any help of any kinds.

The last of morons* friends are getting what they can before the ship goes down. That's why they keep trying to resuscitate the corpse.

9. We've got a Terri Schiavo economy!

:scared::cry:

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. Very well put. Absolute truth.

[TheWatcher]

8. Yes, Everything is fine again!

Fire Up That BBQ Pit and Don that Beer Hat for another Cathode Festival Of Stupor in front of that Flat Screen!

Just don't scratch the surface to find out WHY this happened today.

That would really confuse the managed perception.

[readmoreoften]

10. 300 billion injection, the construction of a Debt Hole, and market tinkering.

Nice stage manage guys!!!
