I'm going to make your red with blood and blue in the face!

Silly rabbit, there will be no debate tonight, McCain wont show up, he's too busy saving us all from the financial apocalypse.

btw, happy birthday...

@Yojimbo: Everyone keeps talking about how shitty the economy is and the "financial crisis", but I don't see it. Maybe it's because I don't own stocks. Sure, gas is expensive, but I waste way more money on frivolous things during any given week than I pay for gas.

@ Phantom - You may not yet feel the squeeze, but it is happening. A buddy of mines brother worked at the largest Ford dealership in Florida. He was told Thursday that all 13 dealerships are closing. The lack of credit, and instability in the market will cause a much bigger crunch than what is immediately felt by regular folks like you and me, but unfortunately it is comming. If you have an IRA, or a 401k/pension you might feel it sooner, and it is scary.

@ MYL0R - The dollar was going down for over a year. The only reason our currency hasn't completely imploded is because OPEC still trade oil in the US dollar. If they decide to go with the Euro, which is a far safer bet than our dollar right now, we are in serious trouble. The Saudis keep the money they get from us for oil in an American bank. That way we can control the amount of currency in the market, and print it as we see fit. But if they change the standard currency we will be fucked. We can't print a Euro and don't export nearly enough to have enough.

The debate is on forieng policy tonight, and should be interesting on both sides to see what each candidate thinks, and I'm sure the economy will get brought up a bit. McCain isn't dumb enough to think he can skirt this debate with so much on the line. There is a lot of posturing going on.

Y0j1mb0: He's going to show up. Looks like someone read him the highlights from Greenspan's book.
