The Dow has almost dipped into the 8000 mark. These are scary times. I don't feel bad for the CEO and directors who's only pain is less valuable stock options, but the many Americans who have their retirements in the market.

Then there are people like me that have a small amount of money (a lot to me though) in the market that are hurting severely. I had money in very safe, non-risky blue chips and funds and I have seen my portfolio plummet in the last 3 months.

Something needs to be done. This needs to turn around. Not for them, but for us, the everyday Americans.
