July 30 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks rose and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index approached a nine-month high as companies from Motorola Inc. to MasterCard Inc. posted better-than-estimated results and jobless claims held below June levels. Treasuries gained on a better-than-forecast auction of seven-year notes.

I have no party affiliation. I am independent.
And the Dems are just as much in Big Corp pockets as the Repubs.

We have the best government money can buy.

Thanks to Bush that the market is rebounding. The first stimulus package worked.

Bush/Paulson's Bailout Package went to Banks and other financial institutions. Bear in mind only 1/2 was spent under Bush the other half spent under Obama. Don't really know the impact it had if any, we may never know.
