You must have misinterpreted that article. The stock market fell by huge amounts several times during the last months of 2008.

Garbage in, garbage out.
The CBO provides its own assumptions in many areas if not most. It also provides the requester with many specifics of what is to be evaluated. To say that the CBO just takes what it is given to evaluate, is a bald faced lie.

The selling already happened to the smart ones.

The technical analysts already saw the head and shoulders forming and warned of a drop.
Ha! I'm a lib and sold my Chevron on 7/27.

Why post something you know is inaccurate?

Whatever the economic affects of the deficit reduction bill that just came into law. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OWNS IT!

Boehner: I do. When you look at this final agreement that we came to with the white House, I got 98 percent of what I wanted. I'm pretty happy.

Ah the market is just catching up with the economy. If it continues to fall I wonder how long before your govt will finally admits we are in a full fledged DEPRESSION. Probably when I hit the pick 6 lotto on 10 consecutive nights in a row.

What works for me is looking at what the CBO does, based on what the CBO does. Rather than only if they score something the way I want it to be scored. But if it works for you to be misled, by all means, enjoy.

But you go ahead and think that anyway.
