The Federal Reserve in action folks. A truly independent quasi government
agency bailing out the rich folks and those in political favor.

Remember about two years ago during the mid-terms how the Democrats were
raising hell about a little old 300 billion dollar projected budget deficit?
Complaining like hell about the cost of the war in Iraq?

My, how times change. Put them in charge of the purse strings and they do
what Democrats always do - spend like there's no tomorrow. And, thanks to
them, there will be no tomorrow for the next generation or two who has to
foot the bill for their gluttonous, unsustainable socialist agenda.

Funny, doesn't look like the Democrats to me.

Looks like a Republican plan to bankrupt the country. I guess that's one
way to get a smaller government.

Idiot! You're clueless. You don't even know the difference between a budget
deficit and the national debt.

We have already lost many times that in 401k, saving accounts, and
company and public pension funds. So while large in itself, it is a drop
in the bucket relative to the problem.

You'll only lose in a 401K if you sell or reallocate. If you can wait, the
market will come back eventually.

At the average rate of return of market growth for the last 40 years it
will take 10 to 15 years for a 401k to regain the 50% that was lost
since the start of this congress with pelosi "great" leadership. ie it
will have to grow 100% in 10 year. I will be dead before long before then.

If you're trying to blame the Dems in the last two years for what Bush did
to the economy in the last eight, you've probably got a brain tumor that's
disrupting your cognitive function. Take a look at this. Looks like you'll
have plenty of time, assuming senility hasn't set it.

Nonsense. You're fooling yourself. If today you have an asset that could
be
sold for x, and yesterday it could have been sold for 2x, you've lost half
the value of the asset since yesterday. You might hope it will again be
saleable for 2x some day, but that's just a hope.


Incorrect. You've lost nothing until you sell it. It's funny money unless
you sell or reallocate. Did you actually attend accounting 101? LOL
