去年十月, 我讓大小子寫下他從網上電視上學到的關於金融風暴的消息, 說完我就把這事給忘了. 剛才在他的電腦上看他寫的幾段, 和他爸大笑不止.

The Economy
Current rating in my opinion: stupid
The cause, according to several radio shows, are corrupt politicians, sub-prime loan’s.
The stocks have had their biggest plunge in years. The Dow has dipped below 8000 at times.
Lehman Brothers has gone out of business; Morgan Stanley might be next; and AIG had to be bailed out twice, the second time because 100 employees went on vacation with government’s money.
The government has called for a $700 billion bailout plan several times. In other words, a bailout of $700,000,000,000. that’s a lot of cash! The presidential candidates have different ideas. John McCain plans to decrease government spending; on the other hand, Obama plans to raise government spending along with taxes.
The economy might have a depression again, right now it’s a recession.
