re: #77 sliv_the_eli

Hearing the same thing from folks I speak to in the banking, construction and real estate industries.

There is a genuine undercurrent of fear on the street. Often it’s just coming out as pissed off people or partisan hyperbole (well covered on the right side at LGF already) and on the left we have the noisy “primary Obama” crowd.

My little luxury industry (jwlry mfg) is about sh%#@ting bricks. Awful coincidence- When gold was degregulated it was $39, Silver is now about $39 and the crisis is larger by far. The recession felt like somebody effed up but this, well this is far more pointedly self inflicted. TEA PARTY. Willing to kill the economy for a tax pledge.
