Krugman: The opening of the markets Monday could be … interesting.

Staring Into the Abyss

No deal. And for a very good reason: the president has made it a matter of principle that he will not make concessions that reward hostage-taking, and Republican leaders refuse to release the hostages without getting something that will let them claim victory.

The opening of the markets Monday could be … interesting.

11. What a damn nerve-wracking month

Wonder how many elected officials have resorted to booze and sleeping pills. Not to mention worried layed off workers.

This crisis must not be forgotten, even if an "all clear" rings out. House Rethugs must be punished and beaten back in 2014. It may take a couple of cycles to get rid of the most insane, but they've gotta go.

13. I'm sure the speculative banks love all the shorting opportunities

They'll probably plant a few false stories just the fuel the sell off then synchronize the bottom prices where they can start buying again. That's the way our corrupt markets work, "investors" barely exist anymore.
