Oh this thing isn't over, not by a long shot. No one ever said that the bailout bill was going to fix the problem, at least not anyone that I ever heard and I pay pretty close attention. It was supposed to "ease the credit crunch", but that doesn't mean it's going to do anything for the economy overall.
Yes, markets all over the world were down significantly today, in Asia and Europe.
This is why I was against the bailout bill. It wasn't going to fix anything, it shoulders our children and grandchildren with our debt, and I don't believe in socialism, which this is in no uncertain terms. We are heading down the slide and picking up speed now. Amazing to me that people can't see it. When you add in the AIG bailout and others, we're well over a trllion dollars of governement intrusion into the markets. We are desensitized to these big numbers we throw around these days.

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows!
