4. I have been saying that this move is a bail out of the stock market
I have been saying for sometime that this 'invest' in the stock market is a ploy to direct money into a flat market.

The multiple 2 for 1's that went on for a decade in the 90's have caught up with reality, there are just too many damm stocks out there.

Not companies, but the stocks of companies.

General Electric has something like 9.9 billion outstanding shares last time I looked.

Microsoft is in the Billions,

Lucent, in the Billions, I can go on and on, but just look at who is on the dow and see how many outstanding shares they have.

The Fat Cats want this, it will be a whole new consumer base coming in with 'the Buy', so the Fat Cats who are sitting on all of these shares can 'Sell' without the price collapsing.

Funny, how this story of Bill Frists Campaign losing like a half a million dollars in the stock market doesn't make it to the mainstream press....

This is just another wish list for the Bush Supporters, and it will be another nail in the coffin for the future of this country.
