Reading some of the posts in this thread is comical. I can almost hear the audible groan that people didn't get the "economic armageddon" they had hoped and prayed for today. Sorry, doomsday prophets, your not going to get it any time soon - at least not from the US economy.
Whenever the stock market doesn't fall by some absurd amount everyone rushes to claim "ITS JUST TEMPORARY!" and "IT WON'T WORK" - yet when it goes down by a large amount, all of a sudden its "OMG OMG OMG ECONOMIC DOOM AND GLOOM DEPRESSION." I feel like some of the people in this thread are foaming at the mouth for a depression (by the way, anyone claiming this is a depression - you can't even begin to understand how wrong you are) and get very upset when it doesn't happen.
Its amazing how much people follow the mass media exactly like they want you to.
You're starting to sound like Baghdad Bob
so why do you feel that you are so much more qualified than anyone else to say that doom and gloom is not in our immediate economic future?
Again whatever stimulus package the morons in Washington are going to come with, it will be fast and even before the income tax returns start to be handle in May.
but they are not to fix te economy in any way because the problem with our economy is deeper and more complicated that our morons politicians in Washington make us believe.
So for those that will be receiving a bail ot check, go and do your patriotic duty and spend, spend and spend even more.
There is a difference between reality and what you want reality to be. Just because you want economic armageddon doesn't mean its going to happen
Does anyone believe that the FED can continue to save the markets at the last possible moment like they did in August and today?

You seem pompous and arrogant, decrying everyone who disagrees with you as being a "government shill." I suggest you stop acting like you know more than everyone else.
