This will sound like I'm up on my high horse, but are people really surprised by any of this? Economists have been warning of the financials sector 'shakeup' for weeks, months, and even years. So many fundamental problems with the US economy...

But it's alright...Bernie boy over at the Fed will wake up tomorrow morning and turn that knob that says 'interest rates' down a bit. Not that he has any clue what it does.

Should be interesting to watch how the Republicans handle the coming weeks.
