Why isn't the simulas having an effect?

So what did he say today that caused the market to go up? and if it goes down this afternoon, is it b/c he said something during the morning? And the market movement has nothing to do w/the unemployement report coming out (for example)? Isn't the movement of the market a combination of x000s of things including whether you and I buy stock this afternoon.

I like that the earmarks are much less than past admins. but they need to be eliminated. An aquarium in KY is a good thing and promotes employment and tourism, etc. but I shouldn't have to pay for it.

It's not what he say's, it's the moves that he and Pelosi have made, they are not helping the recovery, they are hurting it. I don't blame Obama for the depression we are in. I do blame him for pushing a socialist agenda at a time when we can least afford it.

He said NO earmarks. He's a lier

Total estimated earnings for 2009 for every worker in US $8 trillion

Estimated Fed budget 3.6 Trillion or 45% of TOTAL EARNINGS no wonder the Porkulus isn't working.......... Once we pay State and Local taxes there won't be enough left to buy groceries.....

If you're talking about the budget, good luck getting Congress to pass anything without earmarks. Both sides of the aisle refuse to pass anything unless they get something out of it. Obama has pleaded with Congress to minimize the earmarks.

Then you get comments like this: "House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer declared Tuesday that Congress, not President Obama, will decide whether to put more limits on earmarks in upcoming spending bills." -CNN

Well then, now will be the time to use the promised line item veto.
