Seems to be Getting Crazier

Monday was crazy after the democrats and republicans started pointing fingers when the bailout vote faded into the sunset.

Like I said the buck doesn't stop here it moves the next finger.

There isn't any musical chairs so it doesn't stop.

I worked all day in new shorts but it is getting weird when the market goes down nearly 800 points. People should be worried about the economy and some are. When the market is down so much I don't find much else to do besides work.

Black Monday

Well the politicians messed up further what was already a mess.

Someone should have a sign that says the "the finger pointing starts here" circa 2008, any politician in the U.S. Congress ("instead of the buck stops here" President Truman).

Really amazing and I hope I am wrong about the problems that may ensue from this mess. Will we have a depression, maybe, I just don't really know.

The economy will be dead for a long time to come.

So much money has been lost and so many people will be affected.

I watched the news all weekend and thought we had a good chance this would go through. Instead it didn't make it.

Yes I would call this a Black Monday and Quicksand Tuesday followed by Black Tar Wednesday.

Slow Government

On Friday it looked like the bail out was toast and the market opened down 150 points.

I was supposed to go out for breakfast with a guy but he canceled because he thought the market would be down huge for the day. I came in and watched the market go up and down and finally close up on the day.

Now I am seeing headlines about the solar tax credits and whether they will make it through the next legislative hurdle. I am guessing it won't only because oil is at 100 dollars a barrel and why would we want to become less dependent on foreign oil in the future (sarcasm, just in case you missed it).

I am sure it isn't as simple as that.

But solar energy is important so why can't our government figure out how to help out. It doesn't matter whether it is a bail out or solar energy, things just don't get accomplished in Washington, unless our President wants to start another war.
