The harsh reality of Cheney/Bush economics is finally registering on Wall Street and the hangover is just beginning.
Wall Street is beginning to realize that the Cheney/Bush administration not only does not have an exit plan for Iraq but has no idea what it is doing on the economic front ~ except line the pockets of its large corporate political supporters with unnecessary tax cuts which add to the unmanageable deflicit.
