That was posted in various ways on 4/21/2009, and in 2010 and in 2011. How could the same numbers be truthful in all 3 years? It must be a joke. But the real joke would be on someone who on April 21, 2009 was short or betting against the U.S. market expecting the major averages to break to new lows below the March low, with the DJI on its way to 2000. Someone who thought and still thinks that the lack of deep cuts in the U.S. budget is keeping prosperity away. That's funny. The Washington Post version has: Framed by members of his Cabinet, the president himself acknowledged that the goal amounts to a drop in the bucket. "It is, and that's what I just said," he told reporters. "None of these things alone are going to make a difference. But cumulatively they make an extraordinary difference because they start setting a tone. And so what we are going to do is, line by line, page by page, $100 million there, $100 million here, pretty soon, even in Washington, it adds up to real money." washingtonpost.com
