We

When I woke up this morning, I could not have been more grateful for my radio/alarm clock, that father got me for Christmas. The excited, worried and scared voice of the financial commentator ABC News Radio brought on at five a.m. gave me the chills... the good kind.
An almost whisper at the back of my head, heralded like the trumpets of rapture.
"We knew this was coming!"
Economic Collapse. I'm loving every second. Loving every sliding financial stock, and every blundering and foolish statement both Left and Right.
Vindicated Mirth. That's what it is. We were right.
I'm leaving the deep analysis for another day, possibly tomorrow. But tonight I'm celebrating the disaster. So should we all. We've gotta find something to smile about. :)
Tomorrow is going to be a long day. We have work to do.

I'd have to lend my agreeance to Kate here, although I do share your amusement at the sheer irony of the situation.

The only way to fix it is to flush all away...
Actually, that is the only what to fix it. Basically there's too much money and not enough value in the market, so we get inflation, which makes it hard to afford your mortgage, which people default on, which bankrupts lenders and securities, which kills the stock market, which makes the central banks print more money, which means... We've gotta stop, take the pain, and let things correct themselves.
