I get another story....from a friend living 1,500 miles away, from a girlfriend, from a co-worker....from someone who just lost half their pension, their job, their stocks, or can't afford to pay their bills.

Almost everyone I know has been touched by the economy except the very wealthy (and most of them were pulling for McCain....suckas!); however I see this spiral downward JUST beginning. There will be plenty of regular people who won't be able to afford their heating bill AND eat this winter. And as the economy collapses, watch for the banks to start failing....the big ones. Jobs will become scarce, people will be laid off and pensions will dry up.

My suggestion: move in with your parents.
