Put simply, there have been those who for the last decade or so have been busy sewing the seeds of this disaster.

Republicans have been busy working for less market regulations, and now we get the bill for it. 3000 dollars per American. 12 000 dollars for a family of four.

The regulators are there to ensure this sort of thing doesnt happen. They are insurance.

You can always save money by not having regulators, but then you really have noone else but yourself to blame when you find that the unregulated market has run amuck.

Whoever wins the next election is financially screwed. However it really doesnt make much sense to vote for a man like McCain, after all, it is primarily the policies this man advocated that are responsible for the current financial crisis. This has just cost me about 3000 dollars if Im lucky, my job if Im not.

Not unlike Iraq really? Remember McCain, the military man saying before the invasion how it was going to be easy, sunni n shia never fought, we will be greeted as liberators etc?

You cannot question the grit of a man like McCain, however being tortured does not count as experience at military leadership. Indeed it appears that on most issues on which McCain has expressed a military opinion, he has been critically wrong.

NEW YORK (AP) — "Late Show" host David Letterman kept up a verbal assault on John McCain Thursday, saying he felt like an "ugly date" because the GOP presidential candidate backed out of a scheduled appearance on his talk show. The night before, Letterman had said McCain's decision to suspend his campaign to deal with the economic crisis "didn't smell right." Letterman substituted MSNBC's "Countdown" host — and critic of the Arizona senator — Keith Olbermann when McCain called him to say he wouldn't appear Wednesday. The comic was unhappy when McCain sat for an interview with Katie Couric instead of him Wednesday — and even more perturbed to learn that McCain didn't leave New York until Thursday. He said he felt like a "patriot" to let McCain off his commitment to deal with the economy and "now I'm feeling like an ugly date." "That's what I feel like, I feel like an ugly date," he said. "I feel used. I feel cheap. I feel sullied." McCain spokeswoman Nicolle Wallace said Thursday that the campaign "felt this wasn't a night for comedy." "We deeply regret offending Mr. Letterman, but our candidate's priority at this moment is to focus on this crisis," Wallace said on NBC's "Today" show. The late-night comic banged away at McCain on Thursday from the opening of his monologue. "You're here on a good night," he told the audience. "So far none of our guests have canceled." He talked about daredevil David Blaine's feat of hanging upside down in New York's Central Park for 60 hours. "They just left the guy hanging there," he said. "It's the same thing McCain did to me last night." He described socialite Paris Hilton — Thursday's guest whose celebrity was once used in a McCain campaign ad to mock Obama — as McCain's first choice for a running mate. "Here's how it works: you don't come to see me? You don't come to see me? Well, we might not see you on Inauguration Day," Letterman said. Noting that McCain wanted to postpone Friday's first debate with Barack Obama, Letterman said running mate Sarah Palin wanted to put off her debate with Democrat Joe Biden until after Election Day. Letterman said McCain taking Palin to meet world leaders at the United Nations was like "take-your-daughter-to-work day." Letterman's Top 10 list was "surprising facts about Sarah Palin," read by citizens of Wasilla, Alaska, where she was once mayor. No. 10: Palin "sometimes calls John McCain grandpa." Later in the show, Letterman couldn't resist another mention of "that John McCain" while chatting with Hilton, who replied, "I heard he dissed you. He dissed me." Milking the moment, Letterman consoled her: "You had a little run-in with him, too, didn't you?"
