Bad news from Europe. Bad bets by major banks and funds that Romney would win, thus repealing Dodd-Frank and dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The realization by the "market" that regulation is upon them, that their freewheeling ways of getting what they want and free reign is at an end.

That's why the market is down.

The only answer to the fiscal cliff is cuts and taxes.
Greece is looking for a 3rd bailout as their debts grow and more austerity is heaped on the people.
The ECB is getting antsy about backing up all those loans.
Germany has been told to stop backing loans to failed countries.

DEBT is knocking at the door all over the world.
And no one wants to answer.

That's strange, I haven't heard at anytime Comrade O'bummer was willing to compromise with Republicans, -so, I guess that's why the stock market is crashing.

Pretty much all of the above...

Also the lack of the Fiscal Cliff not being addressed by the administration for the last year or so.

Yup....all the above with a little twist of Lizzy Warren thrown in just to make the bankers pucker a bit.

He has compromised the last 4 years with Republican's. Over many things. I personally think it's time to STOP compromising.
