      The falls didn't match or even come close to the falls of 1929. Who's writing this crapola? It's down what, 40 some odd percent? The depression saw a drop of 90%. We're no where near that. At worst we're just over what happened in the 80's with McCain's pals the Keating Five and the various S scandals, or possibly over the 70's.

      Wow. Seems it's even worse than the last crash in the 80's, when Senator McCain was a member of the Keating 5 savings and loan scandal.
