1. Good point

Wad up a few billion and put it under the skids that should slow it down.

Have you ever seen the rich of a country steal its lesser populace into prosperity?

2. believe it or not...percentages are lost on some people

and all they focus on is the raw number...

tell them stocks fell 50 pts today and they think nothing of it...tell them that when the DOW is only at 100 and maybe they MIGHT notice a difference...

i blame it on education and sensationalist media hype...
