The OP doesn't seem very knowledgeable about how the stock market operates considering it is impossible for it to drop that much in one day...

Get a grip. None of them in DC are making the HARD cuts we need. We are $1+ trillion OVER what we spend per year. Do any of you think shaving $300 billion will make a difference ?
As long as people can continue to point their finger at the other party placing blame for everything...... then no, nobody really cares and remains blind to what is actually going on !

Beside wall street has already started to factor in the damage as they always do. Mean while Obama can only say he can't guarnteee SS and has no plan B just in case it happens.Looking at his stimulus plan it looks like its every man/woman for themselves.

Elections do have consequences. And one consequence is that after you win, you need to govern. And when you only control 1/3 of the government, you should realize that you have to pick your battles. And to seemingly drag the struggling economy backwards is not a winning battle. Certainly not if the Republicans want to win the White House and the Senate in 2012.

Default Borhner is not going to lose me one dime...

But Obama, with his posturing and posing, bad-faith negotiating, and fixation on political ploys like bashing "corporate jet owners" has the potential to cost me, you, and every other American an immeasurable amount of lost wealth, lost potential, and wasted opportunity.

Obama has rejected the centrist approach embodied in the Simpson Bowles approach, the Gang of Six plan, and every other attempt to install a rational, pro-growth tax structure that will actually increase revenues. His ideological insistence on a class warfare approach to taxation, ineffective and counter-productive though it may be, has been the primary stumbling block in negotiations. Thank goodness the Republicans aren't buying Obama's recipe for stagnation and decline.
