Wow, 1 Trillion loss in market

Thanks to our congress, we had more than 1 trillion loss in the market today. 133 GOP voted against it, 65 GOP voted for it. 140 DEM voted for it and 95 DEM voted against it.
I overestimated the intelligence of our Congress. Our politicians said they wanted others to vote yes to pass the bill, just not themselves! Is this how they get elected in the first place? They don't care if you lost money in your 401K, in your investments! They only care about their election and most people, who hate wall street in nature, will find out what they had lost today! I hope these who wrote to their congressman and congresswoman to vote against the bill, will be happy with their investment in the stock market today!
People are misled by media and most people don't know how financial market works. In this sense, we the people, deserve what we got today: selfish lawmakers, and selfish public. Now let's suffer together!
