    After the worst week on Wall Street in U.S. history where the ripples are being felt clear across America and will continue to be felt for years to come, the tax payers will be bailing out incompetent and greedy executives on Wall Street. This shockwave felt by all of us has caused John McCain’s poll numbers to take a dive similar to the way the stock market did.

    America Is Bankrupt
    by Mike (in Tokyo) Rogers
    A recent trip to the United States – after a three-year absence – showed me how far the country and its people have deteriorated in a short period of time. Americans are bankrupt. They are bankrupt at every possible level: spiritually, morally, educationally. The country’s economy has deteriorated to the level of a Philippines or a Thailand (and I mean no disrespect to the Philippines or Thailand – I love those places).

    Anxiety rises as the era of easy credit comes to an abrupt end
    Updated 21h 7m ago
    By David Lieberman, USA TODAY
