I’m not saying this to gloat, but to give credence to the fact that some short-sighted commenters here (Ironballs) doesn’t see the big picture and is one of those people who buys into everything they say on Fox news. It’s amusing actually that he would discredit someone for reading the NYTimes, when the stuff he spouts off comes right from Bill O’Reilly’s sermons.
I would like to point out that I received a very hard earned (but substantial) raise this week. So while we might be in touch economic times, it is very, very ignorant to suggest that there aren’t a lot of hard working people in this city doing quite well for themselves.
I agree with everything you wrote, but the fact as you put it that “capital now flows globally” goes to the root of my fears about Obama.
It’ll be very easy for businesses and investors to simply move to another country that’s more tax friendly when Obama starts his taxing and protectionist agenda.
Lots of folks are to blame for the current meltdown, but we still have a choice about what future policies we want to implement to secure a strong future for the US economy.
“I’ve never lived through a depression either, but I’ve read about them and it’s much much worse than you seem to understand. People wait in line for hours to pick up free bread. It’s awful stuff.”
And you say we are in one!!!!
Where are the bread lines forming? Do you see any? Christ, get a grip. Take a pill.

Now get back to work!
Dave–props to you for holding down the adult wing of the blog today. Now I gotta go line up for bread!

The tides are a turning.
In better news today, Connecticut is the third state in the country to allow same sex marriage!!!
Yeah!!!
I have an idea of what depression means.
Your attitude and comments here, Ironballs would indicate you suffer from it a lot more than our economy does right now.
Do you ever say ANYTHING positive?
Your comments are about the most depressing thing being spewed right now.
Muffett, Wealthy is relative in NY. a 250K doesn’t sound so wealthy when it doesn’t let one buy a house for a two kid family (3 beds).
benson…yes, in fact some of the more leveraged of all the financial instruments actually came out of London.
