| Tadao | Well... now is a great time to invest in some safe mutual funds. What is safe and low at the same time? Don't know. I'm not investing so I haven't paid attention, but you can make a killing if you are paying attention. Things will be bad only if inverters move out of the DOW and NASDAQ and into the other markets. | |

| pac-man | Neither the bailout or the market drops have a massive effect on my day to day. My insurance, health care, and income are all aided by my armed forces service (and resultant injuries) so I'm doing just fine, actually. My statement was based purely off of fact. The point drop in the market was a direct result of the bailout plan failing the House. The problem is snowballing. | |

| Tadao | What I'm saying is that Lenders are the ones in trouble. YOU will have a harder time getting a loan is all. | |
| Sep 29th, 2008 10:56 PM | ||
| Tadao | Really? Tell me how you are effected by all this? | |
| Sep 29th, 2008 10:54 PM | ||
| pac-man | We can't take much more of this though. A plan has to pass Congress, otherwise Wall Street will have zero confidence. | |
| Sep 29th, 2008 10:51 PM | ||
| Tadao | It had its biggest point drop ever, but it isn't even in the top 10 on percentage. That is what really matters. | |
| Sep 29th, 2008 10:47 PM | ||
| VaporTrailx1 | So. The dow is at it's lowest EVER? | |
| Sep 29th, 2008 08:32 PM | ||
| pac-man | Don't be so glib, Vapor. We're not fucked. We're royally fucked. | |
| Sep 29th, 2008 04:34 PM | ||

Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH)-"High financial crimes have been committed." http://www.dailynewscaster.com/2008/...-the-republic/ Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX)-"We are under Martial Law" http://www.dailynewscaster.com/2008/...r-martial-law/ "July 28, 2006 HOUSE LEADERSHIP INVOKES “MARTIAL LAW,” FORCING MEMBERS TO VOTE ON KEY BILLS WITHOUT FULL KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT THEY ARE VOTING ON: MOVE REPRESENTS EROSION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS The House Rules Committee on Thursday afternoon reported a resolution that would provide martial law authority in relation to all of these bills. ...Under the martial law procedure, longstanding House rules that require at least one day between the unveiling of significant legislation and the House floor vote on that legislation — so that Members can learn what they are being asked to vote on — are swept away. Instead, under “martial law,” the Leadership can file legislation with tens or hundreds of pages of fine print and move immediately to debate and votes on it, before Members of Congress, the media, or the public have an opportunity to understand fully what provisions have been altered or inserted into the legislation behind closed doors. This is the procedure that the Leadership intends to use to muscle through important bills in the next two days.... What is “Martial Law”? The House leadership is using a parliamentary gambit to evade a longstanding House rule that is supposed to ensure that this kind of obfuscation does not occur. That House rule (Rule XIII(6)(a)) provides that a resolution (called a rule) reported by the Rules Committee cannot be considered by the House on the same legislative day that the rule is reported (except by a two-thirds vote of the House). This is supposed to ensure that Members of the House and the public have at least one day to examine and analyze what is in legislation before they have to debate and vote on it. To maneuver around this House rule and rush the three proposals discussed above to a vote before they have been fully examined, the Rules Committee reported a rule late Thursday afternoon (H.Res. 958) that would waive the application of Rule XIII(6)(a). Instead, it would allow the Rules Committee to wait until the last minute and not to report the rules governing the consideration of these bills or to release the text of the bills themselves until immediately before debate and votes on the bills, and on the rules governing their consideration, commences. This extraordinary procedure is known as a “martial law” rule because it suspends the normal procedures and safeguards and allows the House Leadership to operate in a more authoritarian fashion. It enables the Leadership to seek to ram a bill or conference report through before the Members have the opportunity to fully understand what they are voting on." http://www.cbpp.org/7-28-06bud-stmt.htm |

I don't think Canada would be down for a NAU. Mexico would go for it in a second though. It's not like you can really tell the difference when you cross the Canadian border anyways though. The Signs have French on em, and things have a slightly different price, that's really it. But, come to think of it, Canada would be screwed if the NAU formed. There's like 30million people in the second largest geographical country in the world. Shit loads of square miles of pure, natural forest still exist in Canada. If the CanAm border is opened you know damn well us Americans would trash that like a college Kegger. |

hey blanco, I'm a skeptic on the nau and the amero but this 'crisis' brought it to mind. I occasionally listen to those ranting about it so i'm just familiar with the supposed 'plan' is all. we'll see.. i think our potential for a crash is in the foreign debt behavior but i'm not a financial analyst. |

Hi ranx, nice to see you. You're an NAU fantacist. Not a shock. That said, ya, this was a massive fuck up. Its strange how so many people said this was coming, yet no one took steps to stop it. Its sad that the onyl company that even took one step to curb the whole multi-million dollar bonus issue was AIG a few months back. They became the first company to allow shareholders to vote on whether or not outgoing execs got their bonuses. Of course, the current crop of execs weren't grand fathered in and it was too little too late. You'd think the Enron/MCI/Tyco bullshit that went down would have pushed it along faster. |
