Dow's down 256+ this morning. Has Bush been bragging about the robust economy again?

3. FOx will

blame the Democrats. Just wait. Democrats coming out to vote causes stock market to fall. You heard it here first. They are as predictable as the rising of the sun.

4. Awesome news!

5. Perhaps even worse than that . . .

Bush could say he has an idea how to fix it. That's got to precipitate a 500 point loss, easy.

6. A Poser

Recession,depression, inflation, explanation? :dunce:

7. We ought not to confuse the stock market---the rich man's playground--with the economy.

But a plunging Dow guarantees future layoffs in what promises to be a downward spiral.

To indict Bushonomics, all we have to do is count how many more Americans (or Iraqis, or Afghans, etc.) live in poverty today than did at the start of the millennium.
