Anyone got a tissue?

Its really funny how fast the Aussie dollar plunged when it was revealed the US economy was going tits up. Come to think of it the whole global economy went south when US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke said that it would be Spaghetti and not caviar for dinner for the next little while and he has actually said its going to get worse. So whats in store for us?

Should i stock up on Spam, take out my savings and shove it under my mattress?

Should i get the extra magazine and the spare 400 rounds for the M60 and put them in the car, check the perimeters and restock the Water bottles?

Or should i live on the edge of financial ruin, borrow big time and buy out all the poor saps who's businesses and ventures are going to fall into the abyss of financial despair and wait for the recovery that will see me one of the 10 most richest men in the world?

I doubt if ill do anything.

Ill sit here and gaze in wonderment as the Interest rates fall by 1 percent at a time. Ill get my wages on the 15th, pay my bills and be broke on the 20th. Ill save my little bit of cash to finance Christmas and go on my little holiday and then ill get back on the treadmill and not worry about it all, just like everyone else.

Its not that i don't care - i do really, but bottom line is The US rule the world and now we all have to suffer the consequences of their actions, and theres nothing we can do about it. With such a large population and to seemingly run the planet you'd think that they would have enough smart people to forecast a few years ahead and be able to see these things building up and perhaps nip it in the bud before it grows into a Triffid and starts devouring everyone around it.



They prolly do but I guess all that power, the responsibility and the greed can eventually turn into your worst enemy and stab your eyes out while you have your back turned.

The US sneezed and we all got a cold.

Typical!

Ouch, that hurts. But you're right. The big boys of Wall Street finally got spanked...just like the rest of us have felt for years now.
(Thanks for visiting my photography by the way. I hope to capture the prettier side of the U.S., Wall Stret is NOT on that list.)
