1. Yeah--good thing my husband and I are under 40 and retirement's a ways off, or
I'd really hate to see what our 401K is doing.

2. Good lord, I can't watch; I need the DU filter.
God help us; my parents lived through the Depression.

3. Bet you 100 billion dollars it would have crashed anyway
That's still 600 bill cheaper than the congressional plan, and the result would be the same.

5. At least I'll have some bread - giving them $600 Bill + would just mean it would be NEXT week
That we can only afford on loaf of bread instead of this week.

7. Stock markets recover - the question is if this helps Republicans!
Four or eight years of McCain will do more damage to America than this stock market crash every could.

Democrats should be thinking about winning this election. That should be the number one priority. We barely survived 8 years of Bush. If Pelosi and her buddies screw Obama, four years of McCain will make this crash look like the good old days!
