Will, if you were to familiarize yourself with the thread participants you will see MANY of us pay deep attention to economic factors.You have jumped to a premature and inaccurate judgement. The the prime interest here is making money on ticker behavior while also being greatly aware of the pathetic fundamentals of the economy.(we don't hesitate to short the market when the time is right,btw)Max

You present govt stimulus as beneficial to an ailing economy without telling us why. You also state this as a fact rather than a discussion point. You state that business is not interested in the long term health of the economy. Therefore your post appears to be political. Had you explained your views and the mechanics of the economic reasons why those views supposedly hold water, then that could have started an economic discussion.

Will, no doubt politics and economics can run together. After all, the economy has historically had a major impact on elections and politicians are always trying to either 1) take credit for the economy, 2) blame the economy on the other party, or 3) enact policies to "fix" the economy. Anyway, before you decide you want to ignore this thread, did want you to know that there are some pretty bright people on this thread (at least a lot brighter than me!), and I've learned much about the market, the economy, and even politics by peoplemarking a few of these guys.

Will, you got to read the details, my short sentence was terminated with a "(g)". If you want to discuss the "economics", there has been no proof that the use of government spending on infrastructure is the right remedy for the current situation. I have opined on prior threads that excessive budget surpluses are very bad for the economy and have preceded many recessions and deflationary periods, we are now in the third year of such surpluses. I also think that the problems we have are rooted in overall excess supply, not lack of infrastructure. Zeev
