    It's official - Obama is up sh!t creek without a paddle. He's in a state of denial and America has no leadership. With the debt ceiling now raised, it's either complete hopeless ignorance for economics or treason. Racing east, this is hitting Europe today! Get ready for "Black Friday" No2. America is now in a great depression and Obama is giving an emergency speech this afternoon. E.U's Ollie Rehn on the radio just now sounds like he's lost and confused.

    First Greece, then us, Portugal, Italy and Spain....
    France has 500Billion tied up in Italian debt. If Italy goes kapput, France will fall along with the UK. Has the run on the banks finally come? Many thought this day would not arise. I hope people are now looking at the safety of their money in Irish banks. It's time to buy Gold or Swiss Francs. If you're not comfortable with those investments, put your savings under your mattress.

    God Speed.

    Stop scaremongering on something you clearly don't understand.

    So without knowing precisely the ramifications of this, would you say is it time for us to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside?

    So the end is approaching and the atheists are doomed?

    Attention grabbing thread name is attention grabbing.

    Just checked my stock and it is up 1% from yesterday. OP, care to give a link to your source that Wall Street has crashed?

    Lies and inaccuracies like this hurt the system.

    By Steven Russolillo and Tomi Kilgore
    Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
    NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--U.S. stock futures pointed sharply higher Friday morning in volatile trading after a better-than-anticipated jobs report eased some concern following the drubbing suffered in the previous session.

    About an hour before the open, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures soared 106 points to 11477. The index bounced sharply following the jobs data; futures had been down 150 points overnight.

    OP in scaremongering shock!

    There is a common misconception about that...there were very view suicides on Wall Street during the crash of 1929.

    It's just been built up and up and up over the years....like the way people remember Woodstock as a hippie fest when it wasn't.
