"It's the fear of the unknown," said Al Goldman, chief market strategist at Wachovia Securities. "We got used to writeoffs ... we had so many shoes drop that it didn't mean anything. Then, over the weekend, we get Wall Street has changed forever," Goldman said. "This is a real shock."
All three major indexes — the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq — were off about 3 percent in the final 15 minutes of trading.
The DJ Industrial average was down 373 points to close at 11015

Want to get a sense of exactly how expensive the Paulson Plan is?
1 million seconds is 11 days
1 billion seconds is 32 years
1 trillion seconds is 3 centuries
If we take on as much debt as Paulson wants (well over a trillion dollars) and we pay it back at the rate of a dollar per second, it would take 3 centuries to repay. And that assumes its "only" a trillion dollars . . . it could be much, much more.

Some are saying it's 2 trillion. That's enough to give each citizen in the US $50,000.
What madness.

This is good news. It means we don't have to pay it all back by ourselves. Our children & grandchildren will have to contribute also. Wasn't that Bush's policy all along with the deficit?
