Unlucky #7 For The Dow
Posted in: Politics
After long battles between the Democrats, Republicans and the American public, the financial bailout plan was given the axe. After House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a speech bashing the current Republican administration and pointing her grubby fingers all over the place, the Republicans began to tear up and cast their ‘nay’ votes just to spite the Democrats. Of course the result as we have all seen was the biggest single day drop in the Dow Jones in history: Lucky 777!
Said GOP House Leader John Boehner:
“I do believe that we could have gotten there today had it not been for this partisan speech that the speaker gave on the floor of the House.
“I mean, we were, we were — we put everything we had into getting the votes to get there today. But the speaker had to give a partisan voice that poisoned our conference; caused a number of members, who we thought we could get, to go south.”
While some see this as a bi-partisan compromise that came to fruition after listening to the American public, it should be viewed as nothing more than a PMS’ing mother scolding a bunch of angry children. As can be expected by angry children, they threw a fit, broke a lot of crap and don’t understand why their actions caused a negative reaction.
The long term results still remain to be seen, but the big wigs will reconvene Thursday, with the possibility of a rewrite and some more party line posturing. Who knows if this Socialism approach will be a positive solution, but I think it’s understood by all that something needs to be done…and fast!
On a side note, Numerologists across the country are celebrating a bunch of new conspiracy theories that they can run with for the next week or 2 before they are all proven wrong. It’s nothing but fun with numbers!
