5 year plan?

Well, according to an article on CNN today, we might only have to worry about the tanking market and (surprise, surprise) "recession" for another five years, because, they claim, there is going to be a terrorist attack somewhere in the world by 2013. And, really, where do YOU think it will end up? East bumchuck? Probably not.

The weapon of mass destruction of choice? Experts are saying it will be biological rather than nuclear.

And, the experts are warning that the US government will need to be more aggressive in limiting the possible damages that the threat of bio warfare presents, but that it will be "costly".

My question is, what will be left to spend on protecting us after all the bailouts the goverment is handing out now?

So, there you have it. Don't bother worrying about the rollercoaster the market has us on. We've only got five more years, so live it up. And don't forget to buy a gas mask.
