    While many people on Wall Street are in the business of bilking people out of money, the government certainly is as well. The states, not Wall Street, are running all those lotteries. But at least those are voluntary, unlike taxes and Obamacare.

    It came in better than expected (or feared) (Oh, really?)

    The economists always revise the number (usually so low that you would be a dumbass not to beat it) that is advantageous to the market. Well, what do you expect? They're ALL on somebody else's payroll, aren't they?

    There used to be manipulation of stocks during the 1920's but that kind of thing doesn't happen anymore because the SEC is ever vigilant and clamps down on this sort of thing.
