The stock market opened with losses Wednesday morning as Wall Street waited to find out which party would control the House and Senate next year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened with a loss of roughly 200 points Wednesday, falling 0.7 percent after the opening bell. The S&P 500 index opened 0.9 percent lower, and the Nasdaq composite sunk 1 percent after the opening bell.
The opening decline comes as election results from around the U.S. show a remarkably tight battle for control of Congress.
Republican lawmakers and candidates expected to ride a “red wave” to a commanding majority in the House. Republicans were also hopeful to win control of the Senate, though faced a steeper path to a majority in the upper chamber.

At this point, I’ll take a 5-10 seat majority.
The winner of the 2022 election?
Big Government.
I figure what they’ve been doing to prop up the democrats and Biden with the economy will now have the bottom fall out.
Looking at a deep recession in my opinion. Meta announced layoffs today. Not last week. Not yesterday. Today. Coincidence?
Watch for inflation and unemployment numbers to start climbing and growth to go negative.

**************
Lots of companies are cutting back and/or putting on hiring freezes.
Now that the election is over, they can begin the pain.
The bigger government gets the more opportunities there are for corruption and graft. That’s how the game works.
At this point, I’d settle for a 1 seat House majority and a 50-50 Senate.
American chose poorly.

Expect to see some “adjustments” to future economic reports to back out the pre-election padding that was used to cover up the real numbers. They can drop the bad stuff on us now.

Americans are gullible and easily misled.
You can fool most of the people most of the time.

Think about this.
Biden, the Democrat Party and MSM succeeded defined being a Republican as being a fascist and ant-democracy. Get used to losing.

Biden and company are going to rule by more EO’s and administrative dictates than ever so having a tiny House majority isn’t going to check the abuses of power to come IMO.
Stocks open with losses as control of Congress too close to call GOP gets it ass kicked down the road, and commies/Marxists/socialists prosper.
The dumbing down of the country, the debasing of our culture and dilution of our demographics have paid off big for the Democrats. They had a plan and it worked.
America is a much different place today. A cheap imitation of a once great country.
The great statesman and patriot John Fetterman will be there to help lead the country forward. We should all be grateful. /sarc
I’d bet $5 that he steps down, and his wife is appointed to fill his chair, by the Shapiro scumbag.
Why step down? He doesn’t have to do anything, or even show up for work for that matter. Its not a prerequisite or requirement for the job if you’re a Dem.
Pennsylvania knew what it was getting yet they still elected him. He’s an acceptable choice to them.
It all started when slick Willy defeated Shrub senior to win the White House.
