I think the GOP has been a complete disaster on many fronts. I am hoping the US public realizes this. Remember, how polarized the US can be. But I think the Dems can only lose it. The (D) Pres and VP team and organization will be decent, IMO.

But they'll never win if people back home are losing their homes to repossessions. And no party ever will.
I blame the US government's recklessness, all parties and politicians, and more specifically, the people that were unscrupulously lending money that people could never pay back. And the borrowers were fools.

The FTSE was down 5.5% today, and Asian markets took a hit. When we wake up on Wednesday morning (after the the US holiday) we'll likely see another decline in the USA financial markets.

Where is the "Greatest Economy in the World Thread."


The sh*t, is now hitting, the fan.
