Etc

You haven't learnt yet. Fall from what to what? Get real about RIGHT NOW - thats todays world. US right now is key to the world economy.

The current melodrama will pass. As day follows night.

To bad we can't just hit CONTROL + ALT + DELETE. Sorry folks the system has to crash, only then we can scrap the parts and start rebuilding it.

US should also ban the guns and arms possession. This will cut down crime and $5B savings are possible from the Justice system alone.

Are you an idiot? Taking guns away from law abiding citizens will not take them out of the hands of criminals. The second amendment will never be changed. Try to take my guns and you will be shot.

Oh we can, just the idiots in charge won't let the cleansing happen. The government's bailout actions will screw us for many years to come. Plus the market will crash anyway and then they will look even more stupid than they already are.

Hell yeah! Tell that to people who live in Kentucky, LOL. I believe I read there are 6 times as many guns as people there.

To take your guns Feds might have to shoot you before anything else.

So I buy some MSFT and I have to wait for it to go up 1% before breaking even? That would dampen short term trading for sure!

US populations should cut down on gasoline use by 10-20%..........does not matter if oil is at $150 or $80 per barrel. More environmental benefits too.

Great idea. places that have bans against guns don't have crime.

As an added bonus if you ban guns then only two groups will have them. the Govt and criminals (not sure there is a difference)

Lucky mr good citizen has nothing to protect his family when a riot comes to town.

Where was that?

Most of us Americans think hyperinflation is only a "post WWI&II phenomenon of Germany"... we're totally ignorant. (Of course, we don't realize we're ignorant... that's why we stay ignorant.)
