For the first time ever, I'm rather proud of Americans to finally step-up and do their own research and actually say, fuck it, we've had enough and not participate in the political rhetoric as they punish the Markets by proxy and not participate. Now, the markets/Gov are scratching their heads trying to figure out where, when, and why the American public lost confidence as they blame each other.

Meaning, the damage is already done and this is how democracy works. Big changes coming ahead in Americans future, but we Americans will never forgive the Gov for letting the Banks strip the true American dream of owning a home. In short, we'd rather watch it all burn, then trust them again.
