I donno if it's Wall Streets intent to disrupt the economy with the purpose of driving the Dems outta power or not but I suspect that is the case..

I have started to wonder about this, and then slap myself for being a conspiracy theorist. But it will be interesting to see if a Rethug wins in 2012, whether or not all of a sudden money starts flowing again and the economy (meaning jobs) rebounds again with a will. There needn't be a conspiracy if a large group of people choose to do the same thing independently of one another.
