I'm on holiday anyway, its not like I'll be doing anything else.

In fact, I'll still be on holiday once my degree is done, I suspect, because knowing my town as I do, jobs are already scarce and it was booming for the last couple of years.  I predict a steep rise in anti-Polish sentiment, which will be fun since I live in Little Warsaw.

The hilarious part is that Bush is getting ready to dole out up to $2,000 in cash to American families -- even the middle class -- just to keep them spending.

It's okay; I'm sure we'll get out of it just like the last one. The Great Depression was finally cured by... lemme check...

Roosevelt's New Deal? No, that didn't quite fix it... hmm...

Oh, bollocks. The rampant unemployment wasn't fixed until it was time to gang up on Hitler. We are in for some truly Weird Times.

And the depression was winding down before the war.  Just saying.

Fair enough. But if the world economy really does asplode, I don't foresee a warm, fuzzy outcome. Then again, I don't foresee very much at all right now because I need new glasses.

Just hang on to your hat, is all.

India just lost 10% of their net value in 2 minutes, and shut down their market.

Dumb question: Where are the asshats who made a killing off of this subprime loan shit? Or are that many banks really that stupid?

The banks didn't write those mortgages, they outsourced the mortgage sales and underwrote them.

Now they are saddled with $60,000,000,000.00 in bad loans, and the writers are, one would presume, in Cabo, laughing their arses off.

The Depression was caused by the shock of moving from the gold standard to a fiat currency. This is caused by the shock wave of realizing that fiat currencies don't work, either. The difference is that this time, there's no new currency system to jump ship to.

No it bloody wasn't.  It was caused by people being able to borrow against their mortgages to buy stock on margin.  Thus, a minor market crash wiped out the net worth of 25% of the middle class.
