Watch, tomorrow it'll probably plunge again.

Probably.

But, as you said earlier, at least gas prices should stay down for a while .  Just hope the gov't can get things figured out.

Haha. I wouldn't hold your breath.

The election has nothing to do with it.

Really? I hardly think that permanent tax cuts for the rich is going to be good for this economy. All it would do is wipe out the entire middle class, but hey, no one cares about us anyway.

Politics has EVERYTHING to do with economy.

Wrongo. These economic problems were caused by corrupt businesspeople. I propose that nothing should be done, and any financial company that's going to fail should be allowed to do just that. We taxpayers aren't here to bail out the corrupt.

Wall street isn't all that has to do with the economy. You think that the useless war that we are paying billions of dollars a year on is just rolling right off of us? Think again, we're ALL being affected by it.

[lfmusiclover]

That has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with our current economic situation. Your just buying the political rhetoric. The truth is that our economic woes are all rooted right here. Bad loans, aggressive lending, that's where it all began, and that's what needs to be fixed if this is never to happen again.

Sure, that's what's mostly affecting it, but you can't say that war isn't affecting us at all. Everyone knows that's not true.

It sure wouldn't have us where we are now!

I disagree. We could spend 150 million trillion dollars on the war, and it wouldn't have put us in this situation. People wouldn't be loosing their jobs, unable to pay their bill, or unable to buy a home or a car for lack of a loan.

House and Senate both passed the bailout bill, to be signed by George W. Monkeyface Bush tonight.

The stock market took this news interestingly...with a fart.
