Then of course this will cause a 3rd wave on a global import/export scale because we will not be able to export American-made goods since unemployment is so high, and we cannot afford as many imported goods except from China.
Even if the Fed pumping all of this money into the economy IS going to work, the effects won't be seen for 12-18 months. Until then, we are fucked and getting fucked worse every day.
Fun fact: Did you know that Toyota (with the support of China of course) is in serious talks to buy General Motors? I'll just let that digest, hopefully it will start to stick. Our economic policies of recent history (which are still continuing and not changing as of this day) have royally fucked us.

no dude the stock market is the economy
trust me its stabilizing kids lol!!!!!1!1!!11

I love how sections of the pro life movement think that pro choice people want abortions and want to kill unborn children.

**Pepsi** · 11-01-2008, 05:29 PM

McCain...or I'll write in Huckabee.

**Mad Pino Rage** · 11-03-2008, 03:07 PM

I'm voting Obama. I think he is an intelligent and objective man, untainted by corruption, and has yet to show us his full potential as a great leader of the executive branch.

I think that Carlin had a point when he said that it was only the people who didn't vote who could bitch about the state of politics in a country...or at least didn't vote for the guy in office.

How about you get off your arse and start the Werewolf game.

**djwolford** · 11-04-2008, 10:11 AM

Got out early today, voted Johnnie McCain.

**Kal El** · 11-04-2008, 11:40 AM

I hope everybody else got out and voted or is planning on voting. I was one of the early voters.

**Mr. E** · 11-04-2008, 11:48 AM

Too many people responded to shit I've said for me to reply.

But McCain is better than Obama.

And Scarf, you're mostly right about the economy, but I don't think it will be as bad as you think it will be.

lol, and I love the thread tag 'Mr. E is a no good racist,' by the way.

You're stating fact on an opinionated topic. You can argue that specific policies are better but even then its based a lot on opinion.

Well at the moment it looks like things are stabilizing (based on the NYSE [lol I know that is a terrible thing to base it on but oh well]) but gas prices are still sliding which I hear is a bad indication.. I just filled up for $1.95/gal in Indianapolis.

My fear though is that the money being injected is just a temporary band-aid, and if we don't get back on our feet the root of the problem will come back to haunt us in 15-20 more years and at that point, having never recovered fully, we won't have the trillions of dollars necessary (not like we have it right now) to jumpstart us again, for real. Let's take our knocks now and fix the root of the problem - abolish the Fed and let the free market dictate lending rates.
