Market wants government stimulus package returned to sender?
January 17th, 2008Not politics…just facts.
Nancy Pelosi announced today that Congress will be presenting an economic stimulus package early next week.
The S&P 500 Index reacted by shedding almost 40 points (and the Dow was down a cool 307). Maybe Pelosi & Company should stick to stimulating the gourmet food in the House cafeteria?
UPDATE: The markets didn’t like the Administration’s response either. All most people are going to do with $800 is pay their gas and electric bills.
UPDATE 2: Paul Kedrosky calls the Bush Administration response “rushed” and “panicky”.
