If the guys who make finances their very lives cannot agree on one solution or another, it seems ludicrous to offer one myself. All I can do in good conscience is my best to survive the storm and to help any within reach do the same.

I have decided to trust in the intelligence and intentions of my President. I’ll support his decisions in this. 

Gibbs:  But that’s just us…

You’re correct, Gibbs.  It is just you.

"we do think the current climate may be a bit more complicated than simply watching the stock ticker"

That it most certainly is. The stock market as it exists today reflects nothing relative to the real economy of this country. All the numbers game on Wall Street is telling us is the mood of Wall Street.

I sympathize with the current and former working middle class people who still have 401Ks that they’re losing due to this, but those people are the minority on Wall Street. I sympathize with the middle class workers in the financial institutions who are losing their jobs now due to the unethical practices of their company execs, but no more so than I do with the 4.2 manufacturing workers who lost their jobs between 2000 and 2004 while their former corporate employers paid themselves billions, paid no taxes and made the stock market reflect a false economy while putting Americans out of work.

Wall Street is run by and for the corporate barons and they are pretty much irrelevant to the real American economy since they moved all of the American jobs to Asia. They’re not providing jobs here. They’re not saving jobs here. They don’t invest their billions back into their own companies to keep them solvent. They don’t even keep their money in the banks here.

President Obama is rebuilding a sound economic infrastructure with jobs rebuilding America’s infrastructure. He’s providing for our long term economic future by making health care and education available to and affordable for our future generations.

He’s bringing down the deficit by making those who took so much from America in jobs and corporate tax cuts put some of it back into America by paying the taxes they should have always been paying.

Wall Street is their neighborhood. They’re not going to turn it into a slum. Once they see that their threats and temper tantrums aren’t going to make this President dance to their tune they’ll change it to one a lot more harmonious.

Until then let them dance to their own music eat cake.

Jim Cramer is not a reliable source, and the only reason he’s so popular is that he knows how to scream and show his dramatics.

How nice it would be if the Masthead would have a true economist as a consultant instead of these windbags.
