How can the stock market (Dow) be in positive numbers? The number of investors in the market is down by 85%. With so few investing couldn't a small number of investors keep the numbers artificially high? Not one person I know is still in the market and I know a lot of investors. Do you think...no, those crazy czars are at it again trying to fool us into thinking that their moronic stimulus package is working?  Why would they do that to us? Lie? Our own government? That's rediculous and just plain un-american.  Soon you will be telling me that they have control of the intern 

Who is this mastermind behind this plan?  Do we have a mortgage czar now? Is this how it works...?  Private investors buy up mortgages and the government guarantees them?  Sounds fair enough.  The best of both worlds.  Private enterprise and government guarantees.  Genius.  Why didn't I think of that?  Wait a minute.  What private entity could tolerate government intervention in their business?  First comes a tax.  Then come the rules and regulations they are forced to follow because they are now controlled by, oops..guaranteed by the government.  They can't compete, close up shop,  and who is left to carry on business?  No...wait, that can't be right, this is privately owned and operated.  The government wouldn't intentionally clown that up, would they?  Maybe I'm being to cynical.  I should be more thankful for all the things the government does for us.  After all, they saved the economy.  MSNBC said so today.
