The Dow is still going down. GWB is a cipher - what he wants isn't important, it is what Cheney & co want, and they have been "running" GWB for the last 8 years. Now is the most dangerous moment for Americans, while they are all in shock - if GWB makes one of his signing statements tomorrow and brings the rescue bill into effect (all the oversight and protections were optional), he will be portrayed by the mass media as a "saviour" - and a fascist state will come into being. Ie where megacorp's interests become the government.

surely you mean where mega corps openly become the governemnt.

this could just be the End Game alex jones and co have been warning us about.

The terrorists can just sit on their hands and watch the USA destroy itself. Bin Laden must be p*****g himself right now.

Personally I don't think the plan was the answer but GWB said it was and warned of the consequences. So his version of the consequences will happen. GWB the greatest 'short' of them all.

Gold might not save you, if you look up the abolision of the gold standard, and the depression the gold was seized from everone, punishable by 10 years in prison for not complying.

and what is gold? it's just a metal with a man made perceved value that far exceeds its usefullness.

it only has value as long as the powers that be tell us it does.

Many ordinary Americans will be very pleased their representatives have let Wall Street feel some more pain. 6% fall? What's the big deal? Life goes on.

Many others will start to get concerned about their pensions and the savings for their children's college funds.

It will be interesting to see which way public opinion goes. Do they see Wall Street falls as a sneaky way the ****ers are putting pressure on Joe Public or do they see the falls as the start of inevitable economic Armagedon?

At least Congress's decision will give them a chance to talk about it before any deed is done.

He's not been the same since his voice broke. Mrs Generali still loves The Snowman at Christmas though.

I reckon we'll see the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006, plus the Civil Contingency Act, invoked by the weekend.

Parliament suspended until a Ministers decides otherwise. Welcome to the Police State.

I'm starting to wonder what fun we've got in store for us tomorrow. Asia won't be happy and then the european markets will go through the floor too.
