Quote from veritas007:
How could you possible know if there is a recession. Many economists think the chance of recession is greater than 50%, but somehow you believe there is a zero percent chance. Where did you get your phd in economics? Either you are the smartest person in the world or don't know what you are talking about. It's obvious you are long the market and trying to blame someone for your loss. Don't blame the market. It does what it does. No one really cares if you are long the market. The market isn't trying to screw you.

Why is it a joke? That is lot of money more than the budget of small countries around the world. You guys sicken me with your depressed outlook !
There are no silver bullets, be grateful what your Gummint does.
What have you done to make things better?
Previous rate cuts have done nothing to contain the crisis.Quote from thecalip:
Absolutely nothing. I would just let the market adjust itself. Put an extra $800 or less for family of four making 25k to 40k does not do much.
I bet this is same as the Bush tax cut on the poor. If order to get the small tax cut, you have to approve getting rid of estate tax.
Quote from S2007S:
Tax rebates: All sides agree that tax rebate checks â up to $500 for individuals and more for married couples and people with children â would be in any final stimulus measure. The White House was pushing for even higher rebates. The rebates are likely to be limited to individuals with incomes less than $85,000 and couples earning $110,000 or less. Democrats want to extend the rebates to people who work but make too little to have to pay income taxes.
