| Stock market tanking after Republicans block financial reform |
|
Just looked and it was down 109 for the day at 1:47PM EST. If it was Democrats blocking financial reform and the market tanked the next day, you can be sure that Fox News, Limbaugh, Savage and the other RWers would be touting that news.

gain was on the back of today's 2-year bond sale. I'm also assuming that successful sale of those notes was made to the Fed, though I hvae admittedly not dug into yet as I'm watching the Goldman Sachs hearing.

| 5. I know it's not because financial reform was blocked |

there are a lot of factors in the market going up or down... I was just using a Fox News-like oversimplification.
