Markets already know the bill may be all but dead. S&P E-mini futures are only down about 15 pts, a little over 1%. If it was as catastrophic as the Wall Streeters wanted you to believe, futures would be off 60 pts at least.
On trading desks there’s a saying: If you don’t know who the sucker is in the room, you’re it. Taxpayers are now realizing they’re the sucker.

Senate leaders will float that “substantial progress” was made in the wee hours of the morning just to keep the Market at bay tomorrow. Then at 4:01pm Friday, they will again admit that there remains a huge divide. Just being time to crawl into the weekend.
