Wall Street News 12-14-11

The day's Wall Street news covers all the day's business, including the economic data of the day and related rumblings in Washington. The payroll tax / unemployment extension / Keystone Pipeline / all kinds of nonsense legislative effort looks to make another foolish example of our politicians in D.C., not to mention shut down our government and possibly lead to a devastating downgrade of America's sovereign rating (which should collapse our entire economy if it occurs). Enjoy!
