I am no expert in ecconomics or stocks (don't own any), but I believe that the recent fall in stocks had something to do with reality. The much hyped up real estate market started to come down to reality. Bubbles and balloons have to bust eventually.

But not to worry, the Feds poured in money into the stock market when it looked dangerous, plus they even lowered the interest rate by half a point, and bingo, the stock market took off again. People jeered on the 'Today Show' and other channels. Things are back to normal after all, greed still pays.

How much longer will our federal government have the money to throw it into bad stocks and management? Isn't the war with Iraq and Afghanistan enough? Of course not, they will continue to baffalo the greedy public until there will be no more money left when China decides to collect.

Does anyone even care any more how many of our GI's die or get wounded? Does anyone care any more about all the innocent Iraqi children? No, of course not, the stock market is up again, thanks to our government. Who cares about bridges falling apart, miners dying, tornadoes ripping through Kansas, it is all immaterial. The thing that matters is who is the front runner in the Republican or Democratic party, and not to forget Britaney Spears, Paris Hilton, Angelina something etc.

So America, why not jeer and jeer about the stock market, because after all that is the most important thing in the wolrd.
