I dont pay much attention to the news very much, but this is on just as much as the guy who just died. I take it thats its bad, anybody have any idea what is about? what can it cause? and is it overblown by the media [more than likely]

There was a global stock-market decline. The US responded by slashing interest rates by .75%, and we' re seeing a bit of an increase up from where it dipped down a couple days ago.

It' s not a good sign, but at least it' s not plummeting.

Oh, and the media always blows the unimportant things out of proportion, and leaves the important stuff for those squares who don' t want to watch 15 minutes of " breaking news" on Heath Leger' s cocaine binge/death.

The US empire is dying, that' s what' s up. INVEST IN GOLD!

big tax rebate too

INVEST IN GOLD!

Sound advice for every time in economy.

So... takin' bets... who thinks this recession' s going to turn into a depression, long term?

A depression implies the economy will go back up. I don' t see how the US will stay number one for much longer. Too much debt and not enough oil.

Unless we see a turnaround in the focus of our government (If I hear the words " change" come out of another politician' s mouth trying to get into office, I' ll kill a puppy), Saudi Arabia will have a death-grip on our country' s junk.

Alternative fuel sources, we gotta embrace ' em sometime.

Oil makes the world go round I guess.

Nuclear energy r0x mah s0x. Oil is gay.

I like the sound of hydrogen meself.

Nuclear energy works, but you' ll never get the public at large to feel comfortable with anything with the word " nuclear" in it. Not with the cold-war generation at any rate.

Every country outside the US is fine with Nuclear energy. Americans are crazy. Nuclear energy is great but that means electric cars...

Nuclear powerplans are illegal in denmark! and Sweden is dismantling theirs. I havent got a problem with it, as long as the waste is dispossed of safely (like in the atlantic or something)

There is plenty of desert to store it in.

Environmentalists are just retarded when it comes to nuclear power, so screw them.
