“...It doesn’t end, there is never any “end”. It is a normal economic cycle, it busts and it booms....”

I guess printing trillions of $$$, allocating billions to “pork projects”, lying and ready to spend another 3.7 trillion will have no consequences? You call this a NORMAL business cycle?

This will change the course of American history...come on!

The course of American history hasn't been changed by anything short of world war, for centuries. Even those have provided only inflection points. No, the election of Obama is not the end of the world, nor of capitalism. A bear market is not poverty. Unemployment hitting for a year the levels western Europe has lived with for a generation is not catastrophe. This too shall pass.

Once upon a time, conservatives has a better sense of proportion and hard nosed realism than flighty hysterical liberals and their doom mongering panics. Apparently something got into the water and you have all lost your marbles...
