2. Economic disaster is much more palatable when
you have nothing to lose.

It just looks like some evening of the playing field.

3. We all have something to lose!
Edited on Sun Mar-16-08 11:05 PM by bicentennial_baby
I am a fulltime college student, and students loans are being erased by the financial crisis. I care for a father with MS and a mother with ALS, on VA benefits. Trust me, me and mine have the world to lose, and it's no joke to me.

6. I wasn't making a joke.
You clearly have something to lose. That makes you lucky as compared to some. Some people have nothing to lose in an American economic crisis. Truly.

I am not saying that you should lose anything and I am sorry for your trials.

4. i hate when they break in with live coverage at night. It's never to say "Hey happy sunday"
and...cnbc isn't a big one for actually going live on a Sunday night. Not pretty, not pretty at all.
