The hand wringing and panic around all this is absurd. It's a rough time but if history is any teacher it will smooth out over the long run.

I find it laughable that apparently the same people that complain that Bush is a fascist want the government to step in and bail out every failing company that comes along. The government has its nose in too many things to begin with and a huge portion of the population just wants to give it more power - terrifying if you ask me.

Who is supposed to pay for this stuff? You whine about taxes being too high and then demand that the government fund every last social program and bail every struggling company out of its self-made quagmire. The money has to come from somewhere, unless you just want to print more and continue to devalue it.

Let the damn market work itself out, it always has and probably always will. In the meantime, quit watching every three point fluctuation and go read a history book.
