financial crisis question
If the bailout does not work, when will the depression start-will it be within a few days, weeks,or months?

1. Months.
They'll shore up the system enough to let it hobble along for a while, but I don't believe we'll see any real fix without sweeping regulatory changes and a painful correction.

5. You should have started that years ago...but better late than never.
Remember, canned goods are safe WAY past their expiration dates...just stay away from bulged or rusted cans. It's also a good idea to never let your car's gas tank go below half full.

2. Well, when you realize that we are talking about activities that
have been defunded to the tune of 70 trillion dollars, which is about 5 trillion more than the GDP of the entire world. I think we will be in for some major shit about 6 months from now. There is no fix for this. It's time for a major revolution, and the fuckers responsible for this should be strung up on telephone poles for all to see.

I'm so pissed at the low info voters who voted for Bush twice...

I'm this close also to going off verbally on the idiots who are going for for McLoser because of abortion..Abortion is the least of this country's problems right now.
