The speculators are still bottom feeding in the markets and just took some profit. this has nothing to do with the Stimulus bill.

Well the bill is building support with average Americans. More now strongly support than strongly oppose in the Rasmussen released today.

Not shocked. Most are realizing that obama is nothing more than a bag of hot air.

The economy has lost 3.6 million jobs since Dec of 2007.
1.5 million of those jobs have been lost since November 3.

I just can't pinpoint what happened on that day for the increase in losses to have been so profound.

The liberals seem quite delighted in the fall of the stock market. I guess in their minds, all corporations should end, go bankrupt and lay off all their employees, except possibly some big union shops.

Then Obama's government will be the sole employer. You don't need a stock market when the government controls all production and owns the workers.

Actually, according to today's info, retail spending increased, while it was predicted to fall, home foreclosures are down...corrections being made without the stimulus.

This "stimulus" and the resulting huge added debt could halt a recovery already in progress.
