Our country is in a continuing economic crisis and just went through the most disturbing display of stupidity the world has seen from America in a very long time. The battle of the debt crisis has left American people and the companies that hire them faithless and cautious around the markets. Today, the economic markets responded in what can possibly be called a “double-dip recessionary plunge”. This sense of insecurity not only surrounds the U.S. but has engulfed the European and Asian markets alike. American markets are reacting to crises in Europe because American investors are vulnerable to every fear of threat, and are ensuring that they make only gentle dents in their finances, unsure of what returns they will gain while investing in other uncertain businesses and people.
