Practical consideration- how long do you figure it would take all 500+
members of Congress to read those thousands of pages? *What would

How long did it take Pelosi and crew to write those 1000+ pages?
Perhaps I'm naive, but if a bill is too long to be read in it's
entirety, it's too long to vote on (for or against).

Oh, as to what would happen in the meantime, we might not have lost
another 15% in the market. *Doing nothing is often a bad thing, but

How many times did you vote for Bush?

We're not talking about President Bush here, so your reference to him
is useless. *We're not even talking about ANY republican alternative
to President Obama. *We're talking about the current president, the
"stimulus" bill and the state of the economy. *You hate President
Bush, we all get that. *But let's try to stay on point.

Here's something serious for you to consider. *Check the level of the
market the day before the election, the day of the inauguration, the
day the House released their initial version of the spending bill, the
day the House republicans voted against it, the day those three
miserable Senate republicans voted to prevent further debate, and the
day the spending bill was signed into law. *Check the level the day
they announced another 4+ bil dollar pork bill laden with 9000
earmarks, and then you tell us what's driving the market down. *The
pattern is pretty clear. *When it looked like there may be some
serious debate on a STIMULUS bill the market was stable, or even a
little up. *It's been on a significant spiral ever since it was clear
there was no stimulus but lots of spending. *The markets have spoken:
Obama/Pelosi spending bill is NOT going to stimulate anything other
than big govt and big debt.

The stimulus is chicken feed. The markets are getting sucked into the
black hole where the banks used to be.

Good analysis. That's a fact.
