I am enjoying the economic news like nobody's business. Its all melting down; nothing is worth a damn; banks have stopped lending money; the consumers and firms have seen their assets shrink to bankruptcy levels and the economy is a game of dominoes.

The government is nationalizing Fanny and Freddy and Lehman, and AIG. And the leftists are screwed (or the US tax payers.)

Its just human nature.

Capitalism, for its own good, is always trying to get beyond its own good. The crisis on Wall Street and Paternoster Square in London and Frankfurt am Main in Germany, and ... and ...

That the socialists get the reins of power for a while and, after a period of deep caca where they manage to piss off everybody, the reins of power get loosened enough to start the whole mess over again.
