They’ve got theirs why would they want to ruin it by tanking the supposed market.
I’ve decided this last-minuteness was designed on the part of the House GOP leadership to put pressure on its tea party reps and as a cover for its predictable total sellout to the Dems. Complete with having Harry Reid’s aides write Boehner’s bill, meant to hook just enough House Republicans to give Reid the chance to substitute Obama’s desired bill, which already was half written into McConnell’s plan, for him.
That’s the problem with that effed up town. They are ‘gaming’ when they should be governing with the interests of tax-paying Americans in mind.
I recall a recent headline both here and on Drudge saying Obama already told the key banks that the U.S. will NOT default. With that news already outed despite the doomsday rhetoric, why should the markets panic?
They should be thrown in jail for manipulation of the markets.
The market is being partisan. Let’s regulate it some more to make it panic on cue. Maybe push a stock broker out a window and say it was suicide?
COLLAPSE THE SYSTEM! None dare call it REASON!
Wall Street knows the liberals will shower them with our money.
They’re just waiting for the windfall.
I wouldn’t be panicking if I were a Wall Street Banker either.
It's the financial equivalent of Year 2K.
On last Sundays talk show circuit, Obama’s Chief of Staff told the audience “the markets would have some rough days ahead”. Just wondering how he knew that??
The GOP House has now passed 2 debt ceiling increases
“The Markets” and credit rating agencies want to see at least $4 trillion in spending cuts over a decade. Or they will lower the USA’s credit rating score.
And, the big boys can't be panicked like that. They're simply not going to play Washington's game. lol.
It’s not for want of trying. All day yesterday, Drudge had an article posted that said: “Gold soars, Dow plunges...” I thought - crap! I should check. Then I went to my stock checker program and saw that the Dow Jones was off by 50 points. Big deal! The Dow is off by 50 if a floor trader sneezes the wrong direction.
Panic sells...
NOte to the dems...or dims.... Wall street is not on your side anymore.They like the rest of America can;t wait until you guys are out of office because you are messing with their paychecks.
Like all of this...we’ve seen this before over and over and over again....looks to me like this criminal administration has CRIED WOLF ONE TOO MANY TIMES.......no one is buying into any longer.....
Imagine that.
If there’s a panic sell off I will be one of those waiting like a vulture to buy them up at the lowest possible point.
The author cleverly omits stating that his “source” is a Democrat trying to convince Republicans to raise the debt limit.
Of course, a panic would help substantiate the dire warnings coming from Ubama, Reid, et al.
Yet, we have delicious normalcy from Wall Street.
