I had this same thought when reading Rick's post. Why would the Saudis and the Chinese want to see our economy fail when that would spell their own economic demise? We are, after all, their biggest customer.

Rick, you talk as though you're an expert but you think like my mother -- the sky is always falling, and there are these bad people out there with squinty eyes ready to do us in. When the Dow is up, you're on vacation in Italy. When it's down, you show up to tell us how silly Sway is. You, sir, are kooky.
