Scary, if you ask me. Lets hope this "bailout" plan is going to help us. It won't for the most part.

Off the hillbilly hook, off the redneck chain!

I like how everyone keeps saying that the country is on the verge of a panic, but they don't want to say what everyone is afraid might happen because it just seems like it couldn't happen (a big crash).

It is very scary. To sit and think about the economy, and wonder what is going to happen.

---

Indeed.

I think that one needs to watch as LITTLE news as possible. People are always saying Fox Noise is always using scare tactics, and that's true. But so do all of the other news agencies. Watching Bush's speech about the bailout plan, he used scare tactics up the yin-yang.

It's all very confusing. I just wish things were different.

It's VERY scary. Shit is moving downwards, and people are actually getting pretty frightened.

Well we won't go to the extreme of everything worth 2 cents again.

But damn close. I'm talking MAJOR price falls. Why? Because American currency is fiat money. Which means that it's only worth something if we say it is. Now that we're saying it isn't worth as much, prices will drop. (That's the natural course, but Bush and his cronies like to hike-up prices to make a profit. Which works against this natural course.) After all the prices drop drastically, prices on everything will go up higher than normal, and then eventually equal themselves out.

Hopefully.

I have an account with WaMu with zero balance. I don't want to take the risk of relying on FDIC.

---

Then why even have an account?

Which was Ron Paul's whole stance about the "Gold Standard". I'm not sure if putting something solid behind our money would really help though.

But definatly true about the news channels loving scare tactics. They don't really help things at all.

I really dont understand business v. well either. I should have paid more attention in my economics class...This is probably true of a lot of americans, and so that makes it even scarier, because we dont udnerstand anything that is being said either.
