Here is a little town hall meeting with Sen. Arlen Specter in Pa. This gives a good indication of what people think of what's going on in Washington regarding healthcare.

I would not be at all surprised if at some point there isn't rioting in the streets.

People like Specter, Pelosi, Reid and many others need to find a new line of work. They're attempting to destroy this country with legislation that's causing irreparable harm to this country.

I wouldn't want to be delivering a speech to that angry mob!
It's more than just the fact that he and others in congress are cramming unclear laws down our throats without even knowing what's in the bills. We Pennsylvanians have long suspected Specter has been a democrat running as a republican for years. Now, he when "finally" switches sides officially to provide a filibuster proof Senate, well that just tore it with us and our once Proud Republican state.

Once the US unemployment rate hits 20%, then we will see rioting.

the official rate at 20% What on earth would the "unofficial" rate at be then? People like Faber already claim the unofficial rate is around 16%!

I'm thinking the unofficial rate would be near 30% Plus.

Local govts. are already starved. When you have the State of California issuing IOU's to creditors, there's a problem. I read where a county in Georgia is laying off 70% of their staff the first of August just so they can continue to make payroll for the remaining employees.

But hey, everyone in America is eating steak for dinner.

Booked 10, cover at BE. If this level area holds the rest of the day, this will be the zinger trade from here back to 6580.

Glen Beck showed cover for August NewsWeek on Friday. There was a big balloon with label "Recession is over!"
And then Glen made a good comment:
"Yeah, right! Recession is over, and Depression is coming."

I hate to say it, but I think he's right! If not a depression, then at least a double recession as the media will call it when we're back in the 6000's on the DOW.

Roubini warned several months ago that this recession will be not V - shape, but U - shape, and very possible W - shape.
And looks like he was right.
Unemployment still grows. Credit Card and Commercial Real Estate bubbles are around the corner.
Everybody's saying that "good" results from companies are just accounting tricks and stretches, and it's not possible to repeat during the same year.
Retailers started pushing X-mass sales!
Oh, yeah, recession is over!

And one more thing. Look at todays numbers. Dow is rising, BUT
10yrs bonds are gaining too. I think this Dow rally is fake.

I have a feeling that they will not let go of that 1.7level so easily and we may see bunch of stops being collected perhaps during asian session when volume is lower and easier to mark up the price. if those stops get trigered it may take us up to 1.71 and quickly.

but for now im short from 60 and stop at 80

In CITI AM free london ''financial'' newspaper todays headline was something along the lines '' Its official- banks are profitable again''- or something similar to that. One thing that baffles me is how quickly everyone forgot that BoE bought over 200 billion of toxic assets from these banks in order to keep em functioning, why doesnt anyone factor that in o_O??

I think one indicator to the ''strength'' of UK economy is British airways results last week. Record loss and 24 planes grounded to cut costs. If economy was so great wouldnt people travel more???

I see alot of people calling big drop soon, but i think untill the more pesimistic ones will change their mind we will not see that drop

Right now only about 10% of the 790 billion stimulus money has actually been spent. Next year and the year after that when the big money starts flooding the market then watch out for massive inflation. That money is being printed and is basically worthless.

I'm amazed at the things Glenn Beck and his staff uncover. Yet the public never hears about those things from other news sources.
