Do you mean all those people who were able to keep their jobs with GM are now screwed because they continue to pay their taxes?

Seems like it was just yesterday that Vette was telling us that the government had lost money on GM stock at $19 per share. That was the day he learned how stock actually worked.

The right fringe is totally pissed off that the AIG, GM, and bank interventions are all going to work out in favor of the taxpayer. They would rather see us get shafted in order to prove their ideological point. But then look how they are willing to lose elections for the same reason

I can't read your stupid posts Busyboring, but I'll assume you will tell me to get fucked.

I'll wait

Vette pulls an AJ and focuses on a single data point instead of the overall trend. Let me help you get your head screwed on straight.

1) What's the four-week rolling average?

2) What's the year-to-date average?

Existing home sales up 5.9% for Nov. versus 1.5% in October.

This should give Julybaby some hope.

And this is a crucial indicator to watch as to the direction of the economy.

US Debt at $16.4 Trillion

All other stuff in this thread is part of the continuing obfuscation campaign led by the President of the United States.

The President is very, very good at it. A master magician.

Stocks fall as investors become more and more aware of Obama's plan of increased taxes and spending.

What did investors become aware of that they weren't aware of yesterday afternoon?

Or, for that matter, during the campaign?

CUT MEDICARE! Oh wait, Republicans said we need to expand it.

CUT DEFENSE! Oh wait, Republicans said we need to expand it.

SEQUESTRATION CUTS! Nope that's evil.

CUT HEAD START! AJ's idea. Except it's only $8 billion per year in savings minus the cost-shifting to public schools and Medicaid clinics. So $4 billion.


What else should we look at?
