Any estimations?

i venture a guess of 12 years at the least, at the most 30. and that's being hopeful.

a generation

That's like 30 years.

i think we need to cut the shit.
there are those who say that Clinton profited from raygun.
those who say that Carter got the bulk of the economic strain from nixon.
after this criminal is out, there will be those who say that a future prez will profit from his economics.
where did this come from? who's right?
i know, but perhaps we should push the issue on those when they start their dribble, so that way we can remind them and this doesn't happen again.
a thought.

A whole generation...they left us a big damn mess.

I say one day.
November 4 2008 we can make it all go away…
Time for Obama to be decisive and say lets take care of this business after the election, after we clean house. He should say we will take care of any shortfalls with the present budget by reallocating money from defense, the war in Iraq, eliminating waste and closing the loopholes that are selling out the middle class and America itself. In the mean time, Wall Street has to take responsibility for either profiting or losing on their portfolios. Either jump off the ledge or get back inside and get to work.

The amazing part, Bush would have been one of the "greatest presidents" in history if he just stayed in Afghanistan and found Osama Bin Laden.

He did have like 90 percent approve ratings after 9/11.

Then he strayed off big time.

I think those things are in the past now.

After today, it's a new day.

yes well reality is a ghost.
and those who learn nothing of the past are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.

This is a whole new day folks. Fortunes were lost today but then like someone said there are bargains to be had so today a potential new millionaire was born that person bought something that in 20 years will be worth it.

Think about this 1,000,000,000,000,000.00... lost today

Still not worth it yet, to much volatility in the market, unless you are rich to begin with.

This is why none of it is good for the market. Nobody wants to spend the money, and the market doesn't move, but nobody wants to lose their money either.

But, that's what you call a "free market".

What's the worst that could happened, another company wants a bail out.

ah, but that's the past right.

and there are other investments that the wealthy move to. I bet gold and precious metals went through the roof.

Yeah, you can only hope.

only quoting what you had said.
