So, the bailout was rejected, and the DOW tumbled 777 points. Is it the end of the world as we know it? Let’s take a closer look at the bailout. What are the pros and cons? How did we get here? Who is to blame? And, most importantly…What do you think?
My personal (non financial expert) opinion: If you don’t have much money, you probably haven’t lost much. If you have a bunch of money, you might have lost a bunch. Of course, as always, the middle class will be hurt the most from this crisis. They are already struggling, and bailout or no bailout, the middle class stands to pay the greatest price.

What a crazy day in politics. Here is a quick video roundup of how John McCain saved the economy today. Oh, sorry…He didn’t really “save” the economy. I’m not quite sure what he did to the economy today, or if he actually has suspended his campaign. Let me know what you think.Doesn’t seem like McCain has suspended his campaign.
Historic Bailout of Financial Industry is near. Or is it? John McCain is talking to the president right now, and I am sure he will have this whole economic meltdown thing straitened out very soon. Well, I’m not entirely sure.
See AP Video…
Video of McCain’s photo-op, with President Bush and Barack Obama. McCain suspended his campaign and hopes to delay tomorrow’s debate so he can save our economy with photo-ops? I wonder how that’s workin out for him?
