We may not have to wait till September, even though it's practically here. In the news today, more stories of "consolidations" and inability of
anybody to raise capital. Layoffs - they just keep coming. Sigh.
I only wonder if they can hold this off till after the elections, they have been pulling some pretty tricky stick saves out of their hats lately, and
nothing surprises me from day to day now.

Earlier Tuesday, Paterson suggested during an interview on Talk-Radio 1300 that the state's looming fiscal crisis may turn out be the worst since the Great Depression.
``We may be as challenged as we have been since the Great Depression,'' Paterson said, repeating his fear that state revenues are about to ``fall off the table'' due to Wall Street's woes.
