We are in serious trouble people.

scary.

That's ok...we've run out of money. Congress has given it all away.

When they've taxed us some more to pay for all these bailouts, we'll all be at their mercy and beggin' for the crumbs they dole out to us. We'll all be riding our bikes and public transportation, going to health institutions where we can stand in line til we die, able to only buy food that has been *approved*, etc....but of course, the same won't apply to them. :~(

Yes, you should be very scared but not of the financial markets...your elected Congress!

Yes it did:

Up to 3 Trillion Dollars in War(s) of Conquest....

1.7 Trillion Dollars in tax breaks for the rich....

700 Billion Dollar "rescue" plan for the same people that got the 1.7 and the 3 Trillion above....

Useless planning and handling of natural disasters....

Runaway expansion of goverment....

Early retirement superannuation for judges.
