The Today Show is broadcasting from the NYSE this morning. I just heard Matt use the D-word. Maybe if they would all just shut up....

I see this thread is in Political. This is beyond political, even though it was spawned by some evil stuff, politically driven. And politics will continue to drive it. And a lot of Americans will get run over.

Of course, one's personal history of financial decisions and one's own current financial decisions make a big difference. But this time that does not work exactly like it used to. We are so interconnected now, but not interconnected in a good way.

Sometimes I think we need a new forum for discussion, venting, whatever, about the economy. All aspects of the economy. Beyond the political. There are more big elephants in the room right now than I have ever pretended not to see. And the perspective of our age group on this could be interesting.

But I guess a separate forum dedicated to discussion of all aspects of the economy would not be a good thing for me personally. I would never shut up. And it is more fun to just stop by, check in, and write about Barbie or whatever. But on the economy, I just know I would become like those people on television who just cannot shut up.
