I'm just saying...

STOCK MARKET FALLS SHARPLY

(AMPG) After gradually dropping most of the previous two weeks, the ANSE Index declined heavily on Friday to 742.30. This is a drop of almost 90 points, or more than 10% of the Index's value, in just under two weeks. 37.23 points were lost on the Index on Friday alone before the closing bell ended what traders were calling "Black Friday". When pointed out that Black Friday already referred to the start of the 1929 Stock Market Crash, traders amended their description of the event to "a really sh$%ty day".

Comments from market leaders were unavailable, as the persons contacted by the AMPG were either crying to hard to understand, incomprehensibly drunk, or were reported by secretaries to have thrown themselves from their office windows.

BREAKING NEWS: STOCK MARKET IN FREEFALL MONDAY.

(AMPG) Stocks suffered an historic single day declines as the ANSE Index dropped 53.12 points Monday before closing at 689.18. The loss of over 7% comes on the heels of a decline of more than 37 points on Friday, resulting in a two day cumulative loss of over 11.5% of the market's value.

Initial reports do not indicate any specific transaction or weak sector of the market, as losses were largely uniform. Nervous investors are awaiting the ANSE opening on Wednesday.

The federal government hasn't even acknowledged this issue. Sure, there has been gradual discussion of a possible new stimulus, but those discussions started before the latest weakness and have gone not far not fast.

So...Bueller?...Bueller?...

Former President Purple State is right.  This national crisis demands our IMMEDIATE and UNDIVIDED attention.

I direct the Senate to produce economic stimulus legislation, and to have it on my desk before the 41st Senate takes office.  Hold emergency sessions if needed.

The Department of Internal Affairs is directed to advise the Senate regarding what this legislation should contain.

The GM's office is directed to provide as much information as is possible regarding the causes of this catastrophe.

All right folks, lets get to work!

[Dr. Cynic]

Mr. President, please help me advise the rest of the regional governments to follow the south's example. It's not a complicated form to fill out. Highest Concern, Least Concern, Money Req'd.

I'll have a plan for the Senate's course of action as soon as I can get some more stats from Badger on the market plus the regional statistics I've requested from regions.

Mr. President I'm just wondering will you be appointing an Ambassador to the GTO as set out in the Foreign Policy Reform Act?

[Fritz]

With the passage of the Foriegn Policy Reform Act, we now have an open position for Ambassador to the GTO.  Interested candidates should PM Secretary of External Affairs Hashemite.  He will be interviewing candidates for this position, and making his reccomendation to me.
