President O-Blame-Ya *spent his speech time today blaming others, calling for higher taxes and an extension of unemployment benefits saying that if American failed to pay additional unemployment benefits it would mean, “One million fewer jobs and 1/2% less growth.”
Apparently we could have tapped our heels all this time, wish for more unemployment benefits and grown the economy! Silly us!
Oh, and bad news for US taxpayers owners of AIG and GM. Those stocks are down by about 20% over the past five days according to a 5th Listener.
It looks like these guys have been looking at the numbers. Check out the blog Eric found: Brokers With Hands on their Faces.
