Can someone please explain this ?
Investor confidence. We had this discussion earlier when Top tried to pass this off as proof of failure, even before a single dime of that money has been spent. It only exist on paper as of now and people are already declaring it a failure. Amazing.
When the house passes a trillion dollar bailout package, you know things are really bad. That's a third of the nation's annual budget. You would have to disband the military for two years to make that back.
Anyway, it doesn't bode well for the markets, and when investors get worried they pull their money out.
Hey dumbass, why don't you explain what they're worried about?
the additional 300 bill seemed to be pork in other directions.
I think we've just committed 3 generations to paying off a debt, for something that the 'solution' is not going to solve. About a week ago, when the House didn't pass the 'bailout', the Dow tanked, over $1 trillion, more than this bailout, in 1 day.
The gov't can't fix this, though now we're committed to the spending.
We are more screwed because we have now given this money away.
the recession and probable depression is here anyway dude.
The recession is unavoidable. A depression - no way.
Good job.
So why the hell are you asking why people are selling off and the market is dropping if you yourself were part of the mob that was panicked into selling off? You should know better than anyone.
Can someone please explain this ?
We're fucked if we do and fucked if we don't. If we don't, we'll see a depression and a lot of very hard years. If we do, we're in the hole $1 trillion and stave off a market crash.
