There's more to come in this play.<BR/><BR/>If you listen to the uneducated public, they are still pointing fingers, blaming the party opposite of their ideology on the talk shows and discussion boards. They think that this is just a another chapter of the political soap opera game. To them "housing collapse" is just a buzzword like "abortion" or "alternative fuels" to argue about.<BR/><BR/>You see it with the leaders. The broken system is currently on display for all the world to see. Rome burns while the leaders debate the color of the firetrucks to send. If they were panicked, this would be a slam dunk passage in desperation, instead being treated as Stimulus Package II, complete with political photo ops.<BR/><BR/>Bush's speech last night didn't help though. It probably spooked more people than it soothed. Banking is a confidence game, and it's never good for the President to interrupt a season premier to tell you that the financial world as you know it may end, even if you don't understand it. The only solace is that many people think that the President does nothing but lie, so the message didn't take.<BR/><BR/>The more you understand economics, the more frightening this is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-11285161949208235442008-09-26T02:58:00.002+01:002008-09-26T02:58:00.002+01:00Not that this scenario would happen but my immedia...Not that this scenario would happen but my immediate thoughts are, I need more ammunition.
