they just said on my local news that Joe the plumber makes $47K, NOT $250K. How humiliating for that guy.

Hopefully the CDS'es will cancel each other out to a degree, if not we are in for a ride. Did you know that the actual total of all derivitives outstanding at any one time is about $425 trillion or .425 quadrillion dollars. That makes the total of credit default swaps look small!

How many people are going to change jobs just to becomes plumbers thinking they can make over $ 250K/year. Recently, Joe the plumber made around $ 40K and he could benefit under Obama's tax plan. Joe, are you an agent of McCain's campaign, planted to go to confront Obama with his lies of buying his boss business?
