It's so disheartening to know a select few make millions and millions of dollars when the majority of us are working hard to get that next raise. I'm all for those who work hard and earn a wealthy paycheck, but making 28 million dollars a year? Who needs that much money?<BR/><BR/>-Thanks for the kind words over at my blog.

I still don't like the $700 billion bailout because it doesn't address the root of the problem. It's good money following bad but that's just my limited perspective.<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping Obama wins the upcoming election because he at least has some sensible opinions and wise counsellors.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9716997.post-67357260647629071292008-10-07T17:24:00.000+11:002008-10-07T17:24:00.000+11:00Lindsay, daily analysis seems out of the question,...Lindsay, daily analysis seems out of the question, however comparison with similar situations, eg '29 and the '30s is unsettling.<BR/>I, like you, would have thought Australia and Canada were in strong positions to weather the storm.

It is difficult enough for the so-called experts without half backed commentators like me.<BR/>Still it concerns me that the credit crisis hasn't even begun in reality. Soros suggests the big hit is coming with a collapse of commodities, the Aussie salvation. <BR/>There are so many echoes with the 30s complexity of the collapse. <BR/>However I still appreciate essential optimism.<BR/>ThanksCartledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929350278316125588noreply@blogger.com
