Alright, this is getting sick.  The market is tumbling day-in and day-out, but what is the long-term impact of all this spending by the government?  Check a better estimate of the real cost of the financial debacle.  Yes of course we are slipping into recession since September, and we will probably start seeing uptick again after the cold dark winter and spring starting in Q3, however this debt seems gigantic enough to effect layers upon layers of things beyond any 2 year horizon.  Printing paper…equal inflation people.
