Alcohol is not my drug of choice. But I wouldn’t need to rip a bowl to take one for my beloved Country.
Why do you hate Freedom?

OC BurnsParticipant[quote=tucker…]it looks like this is the real start of the next great depression very scary times indeed.its only going to get worse.this is question for anybody.
what can help to fix these problems raising interest rates and to stop printing so many dollars will not help in this early stage imoho ? i see very dark days for the usa. i think we still are the best country and will pull out of this, that gives me hope at least.[/quote]The best at what, Tucker? American exceptionalism is fine (if you choose), but if we continue to believe that we are “the best country,” no matter what we do to others, no matter what our financial situation, no matter what rights are lost,, no matter what our K-12 education system accomplishes, no matter what corruption we see, and no matter what we actually turn into, then what does being “the best” really mean?
I agree that the US is a good place to live. But let’s not be starry-eyed to the point of ignoring reality. The US has fallen far from its’ highs in almost all fields. Perhaps if Americans believed that we WERE the best, and can be again, we would ditch our apathy and begin rebuilding a great Republic.
Until then, hoping that some suit in DC or some MBA in Manhattan swoops in to save the day is pure Cassandra.
We’re in deep shit. And we have earned it. The question is: will we change our ways or continue down the drain?

OC BurnsParticipant[quote=bsrsharma]WaMu will fail within the next 90 days?
I will place the probability at more than 90%. If Freddie/Fannie fail in anyway, WaMu can shutter in under 2 weeks. The instability in finance and banking systems is incomprehensible right now. Truth is, nobody has a clue how to solve the problem.

90% within 90 days seems right on.
Of course, 90% within 45 days seems just-as-much so.
