Remember, a few weeks ago I wrote this:
…it’s not deficit reduction when you have three years of trillion dollar deficits and then one year that’s only half as much in the red. The deficit is still going up, for chrissakes! You can call it an…

I like your nickname. It fits you well. :)

Oh and I’d check those numbers again there sweetheart.

yep! It was up 4 whole points on Tuesday!

2 TRILLION dollar stim package and we get 4 WHOLE points!

At this rate how much will it cost to get the 3000 points lost since Obama was elected?

Opps correction, got 4 points so we just need 2996 more!

Sen. Crapo: “You say that the tax increases will only happen when the economy has recovered. I understand that a lot of economists are saying we are going to be recovered by 2011. Frankly, I think there are economists who are saying maybe our recovery will not be so strong by then. My question to you is, are these tax increases contingent on a recovery. or are they going to happen regardless of what happens in 2011?”

Sec. Geithner: “Senator, I think it is a very important question. I think, again, we need to lay out an ambitious path for bringing those deficits down, commit to achieving that with a mix of measures on the resource side and the spending side to do the best possible job of leaving our economy stronger, and that’s what the President’s budget tries to do. Now of course we are going to have to watch how the economy evolves, and I want to underscore that one of the mistakes governments have made over time in dealing with economic crises is putting the brakes on too quickly or in ways that hurt growth just as it’s starting to take hold. We just want to be careful not to do that.”

Grrrrreat! Now my brokerage account is only down 55% instead of 56%.

Speaking of buttons. My dad goes on Facebook a lot. He found this one button (flare as it is called on FB) that had a picture of the handicap stick figure (the one you see on blue handicap signs in parking lots) with him out of his wheel chair and a sign above saying “Oh crap man down!”. I can’t find a picture but it was funny.

In addition to encouraging profit reports, investors are probably optimistic that Obama can be thwarted, and idiotic ideas like carbon taxes can be disposed of forthwith. If we can stop Card Check, and get some nice stimulating tax cuts through, there is hope for a recovery, although for it to have any legs, the stimulus plan will have to be slashed and burned when we take back Congress in 2010.

BTW, since you’ve been enthusiastically promoting investments in green energy, I hope you didn’t invest in Al Gore’s carbon trading business. It would be a sham, er, shame if you did.

Don’t they believe in Hope and Change?

Not when it’s their “change” that’s getting “hoped hyped.”

does not have enough support to pass the Senate, where it is difficult to stroll down any corridor without hearing either a Democratic or Republican declaring their firm opposition to one of its provisions.

What? The Democrats are now the party of “NO” also? What’s going on here? Don’t they believe in Hope and Change?

Glad I could give some humor in an otherwise dismal reality.

Back in the day, I used to wear lots of buttons on my jacket. One of my favorites was, “Relax – keep telling yourself it’s only a movie.”
