When the market collpased in 2008, we were 3 months away from a new President.

The sitting president was at least smart enough to let the experts manage it until Obama took over and made some very hard decisions.

We're now about 10 months away (god forbid he gets re-elected). The current president also fired all the experts.

I'm not sure if the economy can last that long.

The Bankruptcies are on track to hit Memorial Day Weekend. As of today,Airlines and most Companies have only 27 days of operating Cash on hand. That is why the market is selling everything and anything,everyone is way over leveraged and now they need cash.
