She doesn't look good boys...and I'm not talkin about my local bartender. In the early 1980's I sent an editorial to the farm journal stating my views on the gov. envolvement in agricuture pricing programs.
Let's just say I feared that gov. would slowly overtake control of the market place. What we saw yesterday is fear of where we stand financially as a country. This entitlement mentality has got to stop. Ten years ago... a School superintendant told me we have no idea that the retirement programs for teachers and gov employees is unsustainable. And it only got worse since then. One teacher told my wife he would retire at 55 cuz he would make more $ just being a sub and collecting his pension. These folks will be screaming the loudest when the well goes dry. It might even be fun to watch for those of us who know how to take care of ourselves. Oh , by the way...300 teachers applied for 1 opening.

How much did Bush spend on 2 wars,the bank bailout, and 2 stimulus packages after 9/11. Plus the economic colapse, total disregard for the constitution and the total inability to do anything good for the country.

Bull*****!! The market crashed because of the termoil in Greece & EU. Everyone better be watching whats happing over there because it will soon be happening here. Greece is being forced to end the entitlement mentality of the general public and everyone is pissed off the being taken off the teat. If our cuurent president continues on the same path he's on, Greece is goung to look tame compared to what will happen here in the US. When the tax takers, i.e welfare and govt. employees, out number the tax PAYER we are screwed. Why any farmer would vote for a democrat just puzzles me?? Remember, When you vote for a democrat, you are voting with every lazy, non-woking, union member in this country.

Impossible. There is no way the trading systems are so poorly designed they easily slip by a 15 BILLION SHARE sell order and not set some kind of major alarm for the company? If that's the case some other trader could easily but in 15T (trillion) and crash the entire stock market.
