Change of course overnight. Maybe he realized that he can buy some votes which are much needed based on polls, including battleground states.

Change of course overnight. Of course, that’s what happens when you only know how to shoot from the hip. #flipflop #whiplash

Great news, lets watch the market fly back up today.
And Mach, I will disagree on your day trader statement...if you are in the market, follow the market, actively trade in the market...you never want to see volatile swings based upon singular statements made...all of these need to be carefully orchestrated so as to not radically upset the market minute by minute. Volatility is not a great thing unless you are Wild West gambler...all my opinion as someone that is fairly active in the market.

If all bills and issues were handled on an individual basis then the country would be in much better shape. Why bills get tied to other bills and unrelated topics is something that will always blow my mind. Take care of the one problem and move to the next. Might be more productive that way.

I think he very much understands it and you can't accept it.

Volatility is not a great thing unless you are Wild West gambler...all my opinion as someone that is fairly active in the market. Well I get that, but with all the day trading/instantaneous trading the computer revolution has brought with it, the market is way too volatile anyway to small announcements and initial sphincter reactions. If you take most of these momentary volatile moments over even mere months, they usually smooth out assuming you are playing a long game in the market. If you are actively selling and buying daily, well I hope you enjoy visiting and playing high stakes in Las Vegas too. That is pretty much the demeanor you need to play daily in stocks/markets today, it doesn't just turn/react to the fundamentals anymore.

Presidential privilege Sucks when you party isn’t in control What really sucks is when people are suffering and the politicians don’t care enough to make it a priority to work together for the good of their constituents and the president can’t provide the leadership that is necessary to make it happen. Zenny, you should know what they are fighting about (I know you are more than smart enough). The House bill has a whole bunch of non Covid related stuff in it that rewards organizations that support Democrats. The Senate will never be able to work out a compromise as it takes 60 Senators both to open and to close discussion (Cloture). McConnell is not going to let a bill into the Senate unless the garbage is already out of it, and Pelosi and Schumer are not doing that, hence its dead. If they just concentrated on COVID related relief, there would have been a bill passed and signed a month ago. It’s at least as much the Democrats fault as it is the Republicans.

I meant his party isn’t in control of Congress.

The Senate puts plenty of their own garbage in every bill too, Dick. You should know that reconciling the pork is a part of the process for pretty much every bill, you can’t lay that at the feet of one side of Congress or one party. In this particular case, the Senate can’t even come up with their own version of a bill that the party in control of the Senate can agree amongst themselves on, so they try to deflect blame to the House because it is lead by the other party. And the beat goes on.
