I know our economies are intertwined, but this just seems to coincidental to be just a "banking and loaning" or "economy" issue now. Someone is pulling some strings somewhere and things are getting out of control. Something big is going to happen, and it isn't going to have a god damn thing to do with the economy. I don't think the bailout or these proposed euro stim packs do either. They are an obvious mask for something else. There is something very very wrong here. Wake up people. I don't know if anyone else was paying attention, but when they were voting the FIRST time on the proposed bailout stocks were dropping at record rates when they were on the voting floor (keep in mind everyone had expected it to pass the first time around). The next day after they had voted AGAINST it stocks had shot back up to their original level. A week later they APPROVE the bailout and stocks plummet AGAIN and continue with no end in sight. There is some SERIOUS manipulation going on here, this is not good.
