When the going gets tough, the tough watch Mad Money. I don't know how you folks are doing, but Big Cram is having his best week ever! Ratings are through the roof. Of course trying to explain what is going on out there is no easy task. While I may not be able to tell the dedicated watchers of Cramerica what a CDS or CLO or Polygon is, you can bet I will be on there each night rolling up my sleeves well past what any prudent man would do and throwing around things to emphasize my point. You see we all have to continue to do what we do best. And sleeve rolling and small plastic animal throwing is my thing.

What I do know is this, things are bad out there, I have been sounding the alarm for quite some time. How bad could things get? Picture Gotham City in the Batman movies. And not the mamby-pamby Michael Keaton Batman (I am sorry but you can't play Mr. Mom and then expect me to take you seriously as Batman), but more like the Christian "I am such a bad-ass I beat me own mother" Bale Batman. Now going from American Psycho to Batman I can BUY, BUY, BUY.

What we are talking about here is crime, the breakdown of society, decent folk stealing from their neighbors. Bad stuff. Now some so called pundits out there are preaching even worse, picture Mordor in the Lord of the Rings movies. Orcs feasting on human flesh, giant spiders marauding at will and very ominous music playing the background at all times. Not pretty. And there will be no hobbits to sneak through and save the day.

Well I don't buy that scenario, but the Batman scenario is real. If the government doesn't act soon we will all be speculating as to which rich, dashing, young do-gooder is the caped crusader that has been appearing from the darkness and saving our city from descending into chaos. In anticipation of the rampant speculation that is sure to come to door step, let me say Big Cram has had knee problems since college football and can't be leaping from rooftops anymore. I think it will probably be Schwartzman, or maybe Trump. Yeah, probably Trump.
