NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market is finishing its worst day since the financial crisis.

The Dow Jones industrial average plunged more than 500 points Thursday. Investors are concerned that the U.S. economy will enter another recession and that Europe's debt problems are not closed to being solved.

Major stock indexes fell more than 4 percent.

The Dow is closing with a loss of 513 points, or 4.3 percent, to 11,384. It was the worst day for the Dow since October 22, 2008.

The S&P 500 is down 60, or 4.8 percent, to 1,200. The Nasdaq is down 137, or 5.1 percent, to 2,556.

Twenty stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was very heavy at 7.5 billion shares.






Fuck it !!!!  Fuck it !!!!  Fuck it !!!!  Fuck it !!!! ITS MY 50th BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank the republicans for standing up for the millionaires and billionaires, also the corporations on not letting the bush tax cuts run out so we can get more revenue.  We have a revenue problem, check Clinton years, we were fine, you can't cut revenue and except everything to by A OK.  Tea party and republicans ran this country to hell, vote these republican and tea party idiots out of office next election, it is time for the real grown ups to rule in Washington the democrats.  House senate and president, tax the rich, feed the poor, create jobs.

are you serious??? this is not a revenue issue.. in the clinton years the spending was not near this high.. any economist worth a crap will tell the spending is out of control.. and by the way, it is not millionaires that they want to tax.. it is anyone over 250,000.. hardly millionaires.. to pay for obamacare the "millionaires: as you put it, are already being taxed higher.. so you want to nail them again? so they essentially stop spending and hiring? how does that help? that means unemployment goes even higher and revenues fall even further..
  as one economist said the other night " obama knows what he is doing wont work. the numbers arent there.. but he cant let go of his ideology.." i am no tea party person by any means.. but ya cant tax your way out of a spending problem.. ask greece...

If you don't understand that Clinton was experiencing the effects of Reagan's "Trickle Down Economics", then there is little hope for you.
It takes many years to effect economic change through policy.
However, if the government intervenes in areas where they do NOT belong (housing--Barney Frank, banking--still raking in salaries and lavish bonuses, automotive production--Bush/Obama) then you see quicker results.  But what did the stimulus not do at all?  Create jobs.  The banks that got bailed out are holding on to the money!!!!  
If they were too big to fail, then they must be too big to succeed.

the people making 250,000 or millionaires already have special tax attorneys and thieves working 24/7 to make sure they pay the lowest possible rate and even illegal rates, they are terrible people.  just like twister, look at him, he doesn't pay the top income tax bracket, he has a tax attorney do his shit so he pays what someone making 50,000 a year would pay, pure crooks.  Spending would be covered if corporations paid tax and the rich were taxed and the loopholes were closed.  And why the way taxes being higher is not a job killer that is a myth that has been exposed, now try again.

Also lat's the millionaires are not creating jobs, or spending money, they don't care about America, they care about greed, they hoard, and do not hire, they hire under the table and pay any legit employee the least amount they can, greed has gotten the better of so called Christian American HAHAHAHAHAH what a joke.


BWHAHHAHAHAH trickle down economics, maybe you can sell that idea to an uneducated redneck, but sorry not buying your bullshit, it doesn't work, bush showed it, reagan lol your saying reagan is what helped clinton your really living in fantasy land now.  Reagan is what started a downfall, Clinton helped stop it, then bush jr came in and reversed all the good clinton did.  Dumbass rich people don't care about the truth, so they will lie through there teeth like you to any dimwit willing to listen.

250k a year is not very much in the area of the country where I live.  The most expensive state, highest taxes, highest cost of education (with no kids in school, but you still pay).  Public worker unions are obsolete.  The workers are portected by statutes, OSHA, etc.

you already just outed yourself as out of touch with the average American claiming 250k is not very much, next.  Go have this conversation with people that agree with you at the country club.

Give them your money and I'll be happy to keep mine.  "Feed the poor", fuck that noise.  Let the so-called poor earn their way as others do.  Don't even think about trying to "debait" (a play on words for those of you in Rio Linda, California, kiddo) because you will be politically, mentally, emotionally and hysterically disemboweled.

I loathe liberalism, communism and most other "isms".  Supercalifragelisticabsofuckinglutely©, fuck that noise.

What makes the poor stay poor is their ignorance about money and their victim attitude.  You pay a price for liberty.  If you want to be protected from the womb to the tomb you are a slave.  It's up you each person to work, save, invest, and spend responsibly.  It's not Bush's fault people are broke, it's not Obama's fault(yet), and it sure as hell isn't the tea party's fault.  Raising taxes is not the way to stimulate the economy.  Penalizing the people that creat jobs(the evil rich) isn't the answer either.  They are just going to lay people off, cut expenses and pass the tax increases on to the consumer.

Who do you think reaps the benefits of Unions? The Union Bosses. Who loses? The consumer. Case in Point GM. We pay higher prices for cars and trucks because of the freaking Unions stranglehold on the companies. Then we get to bail them out because of miss management and unrealistic union pay outs. Your post is the most naive I have read today. Thanks for playing. Come back when you know a thing or two kid.

Not only that, the non-union plants in the South continually shoot down the union thugs and their attempts to organize them against their will. They like what they have going down there with the Japanese automakers and they sure as hell aren't going to let some thugs change that.

How long to do think you would be able to stay out of work and barricade yourself in your home to protect it? If you have anything of value to the poor, it will be taken. I'll take a flash mob with a lifetime of street smarts over a guy with a gun or two any day of the week.
