The post on tickerorg was a little disappointing. But hey ho, there's been some good discussion nonetheless.
Don't resign Relentless, it's hard enough understanding this stuff as it is!

It's a demand that needs to be made hard and fast NOW, or the repercussions have been laid out.

Done and done.Sent e-mails to both Senators and My Congressman.They will not be able to stop this crash in time though.Corporate greed is to rampant
in this country to ever get a grip on it before it's to late.Starred and flagged by the way.

Well, Karl said before he got the document up it may be too late.
Here's the part of the document that will prove him right or wrong in 24 hours I suppose:
, WE WILL LOSE OUR COUNTRY ENTIRELY!!!!
Okay, I'm Canadian so I don't get this.
Even if the economy tanks, how is it you lose your country? Are you not still in it? Does it suddenly disappear with the car keys?
What does he mean by this? Is he suggesting that someone will invade? But everyone is in the same boat. I don't get it.

Yes I agree, but how will that help avoid further slide/crash?
Do you think that speculation about the amount of 'trash' in the credit system is clogging it up more that is justified by reality? That this is a
'crisis of confidence' beyond unstable fundamentals?
I think it would be a good exercise to draft a 'reform demand' in the form of a hypothetical 'Executive Order' -- with formal language, and nods
to where legislative action would be necessary. The kind of thing we would hope a 'real President' would issue. That would help, but would be
quite a challenge!
After all, what is 'greater transparency', in specifics? How is reporting done? To what standards? Get rid of mark-to-market? Okay -- who
verifies it? How often is disclosure required? Always, with every transaction? What's a 'covered transaction' under new transparency
requirements?
Tough issues.
Edit to add: PS: Hugs to all.

I think that this implies that the powers that be may resort to "un-democratic" means to stay in power and maintain public order. Therefore America,
as we know it would be f***ed.
Not that it ever was a real democracy, but at least it tried to look like one.

I think one of the first and most important things being proposed over there is getting all the stuff that currently trades OTC onto a regulated
exchange---CDSs would be a good place to start.

Okay, I'm no financial wizard nor economist; but, I don't understand why there's a protest to abolish "off balance sheet fraud" when a bill was
signed into law in 2002 to do this.
My reference (because I had no idea what off balance sheet accounting is) are:
money.howstuffworks.com... on the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
and
money.howstuffworks.com... explaining off balance sheet accounting worked before it was exterminated by the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act.
So, where do we find information on CURRENT (since 2002) off balance sheet fraud?
Thank you!

It means if the United States defaults on all the debt it owes to China, Russia and everyone else in the world, They will bomb us out of freakin'
existence.
And I'm an optimist

Or else they could just demand a large portion of your ressources in counterpart to a BIG loan. The US has been doing this through the world bank and
the IMF in Latin america for decades.
Kind of ironic, when you think about it....

Post some more pics please because those eyes are the best thing I've seen all day.
I think it is too late. We can all fax/email/call our reps and congresscritters. There isn't enough time to fix this. Godspeed everyone.
Seriously though, more pics of those eyes please.
