Tom, you are crazy.

We just had the highest period of default on mortgages ever. The stock market is dropping like a bat-turd. Inflation is up, cost of everything is up, wages are flat, middle-class wealth is going up in smoke. If you think this isn;t a HUGE story, then you are beyond help.

If we actually enter a 'by the book' recession, will that shut you up? no, I doubt it. Chicken Quibble will have a Quibble fro that.

        Tom, is there ANY way it looks like it has been, or will be, worth many times the human and financial cost of 9-11 - ARRELL - 3/6/2008 11:39:21 PM
