Stock plunge today because continued terrible economic news, but now govt's hands are tied. Chance of double dip now better than 50-50.

I am now as cynical as I was about the political system (in Mexico) at eighteen. It really does not matter... but I will keep voting. The solution is not inside party structures but in organizations that do an end run on them.
