Is ‘wall street’ anticipating a Republican win in November? My thinking is that is why the market has gone up this week, on all the talk, considering the talk of taking the Senate too
The rumor of Bloomberg replacing Geithner was supposed to have been a boost as well.
I don’t know about Wall Street but certainly there is a mood of optimism in the air. At least, there is here.
I think all of us are hearing similar comments by GOP candidates. Stopping the upcoming healthcare debacle, no to tax & trade or union card check, etc. Also entering is talk of making the Bush tax cuts permanent. Some of the better candidates are including lowering business capital gains taxes to help small businesses.
No matter what the Dems say, or claim, the proof facing everyone is high unemployment. I don’t know anyone who isn’t either unemployed themselves or who does not know someone who is unemployed.
Seniors too. Their normal COLA has been suspended for three years and every tick of rising costs is killing them if they don’t have substantive outside income. 0 and congress get fat raises, their supporters all get goodies and seniors are left to suffer. Add the loss of Medicare Advantage and seniors as a group are really unhappy. Nothing any Democrat can say overcomes that, which is why they try to change the conversation when it’s brought up.
