The Market On Friday

It looks like the financier gods have decreed a day of reprieve from the eternal slaughter they have wielded on our assets.

We are in fiscal hell. The economy is frying in its own vicious fluids, shrinking and fading away into a speck of capitalistic mayhem. Hopefully that speck will explode yielding the equivalent of an economic big bang. We need an economic rebirth, any mythology will do, just show us some value.

Amen.

The slow agonizing deflating of a super-bubble according too a Soros article in the NY Times. Soros has basically said the phony facade of the Stock market bubble has fallen over to reveal little left of America behind it. Our Industrial base is in Asia and our work force is being replaced by semi-slave labor from So. America. Isn't this what happened too Rome if my memory serves me correctly? The only job a free citizen could get in Imperial Rome was soldier. It's been said that history repeats itself the 1st time as tragedy and the second as farce.
