> Start by rolling back interest rates, which will inflate prices in the housing sector. Americans will be able to borrow against their rising home equity at advantageous rates, and the perception of growing wealth will encourage them to spend, spend, spend. That should give the ol' economy a nice kick in the pants!
I really hope you're joking

you know what is amazing? the new york subway system is FUCKED. they may close the W line. they're going to halve the G line. they're going to reduce the number of trains between 2am and 5am. they're closing hundreds of booths and laying off hundreds of attendants. this is after more than a decade of unprecedented growth in the financial capital of the world. and THE STATIONS STILL LOOK AND SMELL LIKE SEWERS.

oh no we'll definitely send millions of our boys to get murdered to keep that indivisible bit, even if the chunk that's trying to leave is the poorly-run-enterprise chunk

I'm sympathetic to the idea Tombot expresses - though I'd put it more in terms of not screwing future generations of taxpayers who are going to have to pay off the deficits that we are running up today. I think the idea that you don't worry about deficits when you're in a recession is nice and all, but I think we've used up our credibility in that area by continuing to run up deficits in good times and bad over the past 8 years. I wish I could be more confident that we'll get serious about the deficit (including the looming entitlement deficit) once the economy turns around.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) lost 350 points or over 3% with less than 30 minutes left in the session.
The Standard & Poor's 500 (SPX) index lost 4.3% and the Nasdaq composite (COMP) lost almost 3%.
While there's no sense of panic at the moment, there's also no eagerness to step in and buy, said Tom Schrader, managing director at Stifel Nicolaus.
"The wealth destruction is phenomenal," Schrader said.

"wealth destruction!" they should call it "dream destruction" so people would realize what's really at stake here

a dude i know on another MB compiled a list of companies that lost 80% or more in the last 12 months.
many of them wont make it but invest in the right ones and you will eventually make some $$
