Stocks rose when it failed to pass, and dropped when it passed.

Everyone's free to make-up what ever history they like; it's a free country.

The history that I find easiest to see when I actually look at what's been happening is that when the vote was 'no', stocks went down then they went up.  When the vote was 'yes' the indexes when up then they went down.  During this whole time all the indexes have been in a fairly consistent downward trend.

Let's face it, the mortgage bailout isn't changing things any faster than the S&L bailout did --and that one was bigger than this one.  This one just seems bigger because people complain more during an election.

Thanks for the chart. I was hoping someone would put one up to debunk that claim.
