There is believed to be a government Plunge Protection Program (PPP) that buys up stocks to prevent a psychological selloff from becoming self reinforcing. The economy is being held together by the psychology of the consumer....which is heavily influenced by statistics. Government spending is really designed to change pessimist to optimist by improving statistics through deficit spending. The hope is that once the consumer is optimistic again that they will pick up their spending because they see the future as brighter....and the government can then reduce its spending.
