the point of all this is that the tangible suffering is here, and there we must face the stark reality that we can sink further and to a point of no return. our real only saving grace is that our economy is being supported primarily by foreign investment (from europe, china, …) though their faith in us is week. a likely scenario in a mccain victory is a drastic decrease in investor confidence from foreign companies (though in all likely hood not china), as mccain’s economic practices would just continue the mistakes of the last 16 years, which would cause wall street to plummet further and just cause all sorts of ruckus.

we are on the verge at this point of, with obama as president, a strong house majority and more importantly a filibuster proof senate – 60 (or at least close probably closer to 57 though with the right politicking more moderate republicans can probably be swayed). with this power, obama’s promises won’t in all likely hood unfulfilled. his tax policies, health car plan are in no way like the bailout (an incredibly flawed piece of legislation). he won’t be just a band-aide for us but will, i believe, be what finally saves us, if for nothing else his election will foster strong faith from foreign investors and will at least save the credit market (a particularly important issue for you and me i’m sure in that we have rather large student loans – though they aren’t effected right now in a dire depression in all likely hood they will [how many times will i use "in all likely hood" here?]) i haven’t had as much faith in a democratic candidate as i have had in barak obama in a long time.

but what the fuck? here i am defending a system that i’ve railed against with you for as long as i’ve known you. what the hell has happened to me nate? you’re probably right… MCcain 08!
