Alright who crashed the market?

[Skink]

fess up Grovelboy.

[FarLeftFist]

1. NOT the middle class. n/t

[Liberal Veteran]

2. The teapublicans.

They have fought every effort to put our economy back on the right track and mostly have done so out of spite.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

3. My bad. I enrolled for Medicare...T

then there was a disturbance in the force, a great sucking sound.

The Bozo might be leaving the workforce and joining the ranks of entitlement-sucking seniors.

:hi:

[FarLeftFist]

4. The super-rich, as usual.

[AmericaIsGreat]

5. The party that decided to hold raising the limit hostage until the last minute

And they love it. Crashing the economy for political gain.

[OhioChick]

6. The corporations that are sitting on 2 1/2 trillion and not hiring...

Amongst other things.

[sendero]

7. The artificial high prices of equities...

... created by investment banks trading between themselves using free Federal Reserve cash and program trading is about over.

Unless of course the Fed turns on the money spigot again which is a definite possibility.

[SlimJimmy]

9. QE3 has already started. We should be seeing $8.00 bread in no time

at all. As I mentioned in another thread, my grocery bill has went up 30% in the last six months.

[lonestarnot]

16. $8.00? Didn't it take a whole wheelbarrow of rubles to buy a loaf? I've got a loaf for them!

[SlimJimmy]

18. Yes. And, hopefully, it won't get that bad here. But we are certainly

in for some lean times.

[Strelnikov_]

8. aMerican Capitalism n/t

[Armstead]

10. The Entire Globe

[SlimJimmy]

15. The Europeans are nervous. And for good reason. Their markets

are in the toilet. Look at Spain for a good example. The investors in the US are just now starting to realize that we really *can't* service all of our debt. For example, GDP has grown at 1.5% annually since about 2009, but the debt has grown at 14% per year. This is a recipe for disaster.

[WCGreen]

11. crack me up...

[Blue-Jay]

12. It was probably something you did.

[Skink]

13. I was at work all day.

[Blue-Jay]

14. So you admit it!

A-HA!

[xchrom]

17. Me. I got banned from the Prada flag ship store because I drooled on a pair

Of Fabulos shoes.

It was an ugly scene w/ me being unceremoniously tossed to the curb.
