UBS AG, Switzerland's largest bank, agreed to pay US$780 million and disclose account information to the U.S. Government today after admitting to helping American clients evade taxes.

This might give us a little boost!
This might help the US's economy a little bit!

Too bad Obama's stimulus plan already ruined it to the point of no return.

How the **** are you judging its effect only a few days after it was signed?

I can't tell if you're trolling...Quote from StrelokStocks going down, he's black, I said so, etc.
But I'll rage anyway.
If you knew how 'the system' worked even badly you would know that once a bill or law is signed it takes awhile to actually take effect. Unfortunately this isn't a dictatorship where when shit needs to be done it's done super fast. (ps, not supporting dictatorship, but thats how it is. Fast, but shit) And if you're going to be a silly cunt and decide to throw that knowledge out the window and blame something on an invisible and technically non-existent force i beg you to explain how it did so other than "Hmm...this happened, then this happened..." just because I clipped my toenails and the stocks fell 2000 points does not mean I should stop clipping my toenails.

Miniman, the last person I'm going to go to on information about the system is you.

Strelok, stop being a ****ing moron. The money in the stimulus package hasn't even started to be spent yet, and it passing is NOT the reason why stocks are going down. You don't understand shit about the world.
@Ash. I don't know if that is going to help. 780 million seems like nothing when compared to 780 billion. I hope it helps.

Wow, something actually going right for the US? Cool.
Bush messed up everything, not the stimulus bill. If he got his hands on social security, you're parents would be working for the rest of their lives.
Infact, the world peace prize winner for economics said that the stimulus bill doesn't spend enough! This is all debatable right now, but if we don't jump start the economy it might just keep dropping. Not to mention when the war ends we're going to have a ridiculous unemployment followed by a major stock market drop (from people selling stocks to allocate money).
