Couldn't see that coming, eh?

Thank you America!

U.S. investors hit trading floors Wednesday morning with the same president and the same problems in gridlocked Washington and expected the same solution as always to a looming budget crisis that threatens the economy: punt and deal with it later.

Note I am blaming both sides here. We accept the circumstance that no one wanted to do anything as it might affect chances to be re-elected. We, I suppose, now think that's a valid thing. Problems aren't what's important, only political careers.

We deserve exactly what we get. We allow it.

Good post Scrog!

Seems the economy is not important... tabloid style emotions are more important.

The Dow dropped 5% after 2008 election. If it falls below 10,000 then I'd start to worry

must be all the Republicans who want to leave the country and selling their stocks now.

Historically, who has most of the $$$, makes most of the investments, and runs most of the companies that create jobs?

Might want to remember: If one pisses off the guy with the food truck... well maybe tomorrow he will not show up at the construction site... Then what?

Oh yeah. That's it.

When you can not handle the heat, get out of the kitchen...don't have your money in the stock market that does and always will fluctuate. Remember, it's supposed to be a free market...

So if its a free country then why was Obama and the dems critical of Romney putting money in offshore accounts. It's his money. Yet all the democrats can think about is getting their hands on others money. They call it un-American. What's un-American is spending us into oblivion and then running to the wealthiest for a hand out. When is it gonna end.

Has nothing to do with democrats. It's just not the best thing to do when you run for office. Americans have accounts in the Cayman and Switzerland to hide money or at least to circumvent taxation. Legally and illegally. Either way, not very patriotic.

Really , you don't see any issue with a man that is supposed to believe in his country put his money in an overseas account. Money that he acquired by screwing the very ones that looked up to him.

Smells fishy to me.
