How much worse is it gonna be?

It depends. Could get extremely worse. Depending on what is presented in this stimulus package, and how much is provided, the package may have no effect whatsoever besides driving up national debt and debasing the currency, something that will come back to haunt us pretty royally.

Seems like a lot of this stuff in here won't do jack shit to stimulate the economy.

The economy isn't a car or a truck, it doesn't need stimulus. Real stimulus comes from saving and investment, not haphazard spending that got us into this mess.

Exactly, so no point in worrying too much about stuff. :malt:

Well they're not doing martial law, are they? South of US is fucked, but that's America's doing to begin with.

That's true, they don't seem to be having any martial law threat up there.

Sounds like Berlu got you going. Soldiers sometimes patrol the streets in Italy and with the recent crime waves Berlu has been saying they should do more of it. Must be really nice and cozy, not just to have armed cops around your neighborhood now also soldiers in all their gear, armed to the teeth. Really sounds like a great place to live.

Not really martial law in Italy though. And to be honest I never noticed that much of it. I don't think we're talking about that many soldiers. But anyway, the army isn't equipped to control a city. There's a reason we have the police.

 

[Martin]

So why not just make the soldiers change into police uniforms?

If there is a mass panic, where all they have to do is detain people or use lethal force, they are better prepared than the police, which is the whole reason to declare martial law. In the US it suspends the Posse Comitatus Act.

 

[Bjerknes]

Eazy, how did the exam go?

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

God forbid it will come to that, but if the economy does get as bad as predicted, people will be rioting in the streets, and there's your smoking gun for martial law.

Sounds like a bunch of hogwash to me.

Most soldiers I know would think themselves above it, and most Police Officers I know would say they aren't good enough to wear the uniform.

Yo Burke... How is WVU still in the game?

If there is true "mass panic" the US Army couldn't do anything about it.

Who cares what they think, orders are orders.

Well of course, but that doesn't mean they'll just sit there and do nothing.
