Do you consider the government issuing money is an undo interference in the market? Tariffs determine price also, are they ok?

Great, I can yell at the tv while I'm out drinking

Wow, this is pretty messed up, too: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...2504159_pf.html Gasoline shortages hit towns across the southeastern United States this week, sparking panic buying, long lines and high prices at stations from the small towns of northeast Alabama to Charlotte in the wake of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. In Atlanta, half of the gasoline stations were closed, according to AAA, which said the supply disruptions had taken place along two major petroleum product pipelines that have operated well below capacity since the hurricanes knocked offshore oil production and several refineries out of service along the Gulf of Mexico. Drivers in Charlotte reported lines with as many as 60 cars waiting to fill up late Wednesday night, and a community college in Asheville, N.C., where most of the 25,000 students commute, canceled classes and closed down Wednesday afternoon for the rest of the week. Shortages also hit Nashville, Knoxville and Spartanburg, S.C., AAA said. Terrance Bragg, a chef in Charlotte, made it to work only because his grandfather drove from a town an hour away with a 5-gallon plastic container of fuel for him. Three of his co-workers called and said they couldn't make it. "I drove past nine or ten gasoline stations that were out of gas," Bragg said. "I had my GPS up looking for any gas in the area, from the mom-and-pop places to the corporate gas stations. Nothing. They were all taped off." Liz Clasen-Kelly, associate director of a homeless assistance center in Charlotte, took the bus to work yesterday. On Wednesday night, she and her husband checked five stations that had no gas, passed a long line backed up onto the interstate highway and chose not to wait at an open gas station with 50 to 60 cars still lined up after 11 p.m. "If we had waited in that line, our car wouldn't have made it," she said, adding that the gauge was pointing to empty. The bus yesterday took her 45 minutes longer than usual. "It makes you realize how addicted you are to convenience," she said. In Atlanta, Jonathan Tyson, a Douglasville, Ga., resident who works for a company that does training for auto and RV franchise dealerships, ran out of fuel while waiting an hour in a line about 60 cars long to fill up his Land Rover. A man from the car behind helped push Tyson's vehicle down the road. "It was crazy," Tyson said. "People were standing on side of road with gas cans saying they'd pay the person to run a [credit] card through just to get gas so they didn't run out before they got up to the pump themselves." The city government, which uses 10,000 gallons a day, barred the public from two stations to make sure it could keep municipal vehicles running. On Wednesday night with his fuel gauge at empty, Al T. Nottage, a senior communications specialist in the Atlanta mayor's office, looked for fuel at six stations, all closed, then called AAA and said he had run out of gasoline. It brought him two gallons, enough to get to work yesterday.

A consumption tax when Consumer spending drives the economy? I don't think that's the way to go

What is a 'Market Capitalist?'

I don't have any "ridiculous faith" in Obama. I'm just glad God has sent him to save us

Do you get the feeling we are in a world of sh--?

Oh no, the Ron Paulers are crawling out from under their rocks! And I don't know if this plan will work, but something has to happen. We might be heading for hard times with or without the plan, but abolishing the Fed isn't the solution to anything, unless you want to eliminate prosperity

It's easy being a gadfly, isn't it?

Change we can believe in!

I hope it stays that way. A close election like this can be turned by some investigation like this. I hope Obama wasn't banging that chick!

Sort of like McCain when he introduced Palin and couldn't stop stairing at her boobs

Updates, that's all

Great job McCain!

Talk about crazy! They serioulsy want tax cuts to solve the problem! And McCain? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080926/ap_on_...ancial_meltdown

Actually I was thinking about this girl I know who is non-political who started blabbing to me about how Palin's daughter is a whore That's what made me think about it as being somewhat of an issue, though minor. I mean to say that its funny how people view things and judge people.

So the topic has to die because people bashed O'Reilly--who is part of the media, btw? I'm also just wondering if on some small level this matters to a certain segment of voters.

Do gaffe's disqualify a candidate?

Glen Beck gets away with it, why can't they?

LOL, This would be fun, via Salon.com's warroom:

Hearding cats isn't easy and trying to makes anyone that does it look stupid. Still, I think Obama can get something positive accomplished if simply because he is competent and nothing else. McCain seemed like an improvement over Bush till he picked Palin, after that I was scared of him winning.

Agreed
