Stock Market Plunge

Early this week Congress reached an agreement, but that didn't calm financial markets. Stock markets dropped around 5 percent yesterday (Aug. 4), making the decline about 11 percent in two weeks, the biggest loss in about two years.

Here's what Fairlawn-Bath facebook fans said reacting to the news.

• Laura Luster It no longer means anything. It all feels like a game of monopoly.
• Jennifer Morris Selzer it means the same old government game for me, but for my child it means alot of uncertainty because of China's jockeying with the world economy. she should be studying Chinese not German.
