When the Dow Jones industrial average first passed 10,000, traders tossed commemorative caps and uncorked champagne. This time around, the feeling was more like relief. The best-known barometer of the stock market entered five-figure territory again Wednesday, the most visible sign yet that investors believe the economy is clawing its way back from the worst downturn since the Depression. The milestone caps a stunning 53 percent comeback for the Dow since early March, when stocks were at their lowest levels in more than a decade. "It's almost like an announcement that the bear market is over," said Arthur Hogan, chief market analyst at Jefferies & Co. in Boston. "That is an eye-opener ? 'Hey, you know what, things must be getting better because the Dow is over 10,000.'" Cheers went up briefly when the Dow eclipsed the milestone in the early afternoon, during a daylong rally driven by encouraging earnings reports from Intel Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The average closed at 10,015.86, up 144.80 points. It was the first time the Dow had touched 10,000 since October 2008, that time on the way down. I'm sure the millions of unemployed are just tickled pink about this news. --Vic- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - obama can't repair ALL the damage bush did in a few short months... |

With the amount of money he's going through, he should be able to do a lot better than he is. Where are all the infrastructure projects he was going to get going? Keep believing. Just remember: Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing its idiot. |

In Virginia, it took about 1 second to find this: Published:23-July-2009 By WCIN Staff Writer The Commonwealth of Virginia will receive $4.8 billion from ARRA. Individuals, private organizations and businesses, and local governments are also eligible for this funding. The infrastructure allocations include $123 million for highway safety and construction improvements; $116 million for regional transportation projects selected by regional planning organizations; $116 million for bridge replacement or repair; $114 million for pavement preservation and restoration; $96 million for road construction associated with the base realignment and closure (BRAC) process; $70 million for sewage plant work; $62 million for rail improvements; $28 million for urban transit projects; $21 million for transportation enhancement projects; $14 million for small urban transit projects; $19 million for clean drinking water projects; $8 million for "green" clean water projects; $4 million for rural transit projects, and $184 million for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, shared with Maryland and Washington, DC. Timothy M. Kaine, Governor of Richmond, said, “The projects will pay long-term dividends to all of us in the form of improved bridges and highways, railways and other transit, sewage treatment and drinking water. Herring, obviously, still has his head stuck way up his butt. -- http://tinyurl.com/ykaa4k7 |
