Yassuh, Dr. Jim Boy, with your PhD in economics, we should just ignore the Great Recession. That’s not ignorance, it’s willful stupidity.

And at least I have the guts to give my real name and don’t hide behind a fake handle.

You just proved your ignorance, Mehlman.

Figures don’t lie, but liars figure. This is a good example.

Note how Jimbo ignores one crucial fact: “While the Dow sits at an “all-time high” of 15.5K, we SHOULD be up around 17-18K were it not for the Great Recession, which pushed the market down to below 9K.” But of course Jim can never admit that, because you-know-who was at the helm when the market started crashing. By ignoring it, he can feel free to blame the current President.

And you don’t need a degree in economics, just a b.s. meter, to understand that.

..But I’ll be patient and write real slow so even Steve can understand:

Eyeballing the graph were are probably about 30 percentage points below the “trough-to-peak” trend line relationship depicted. In other words, while the Dow sits at an “all-time high” of 15.5K, we SHOULD be up around 17-18K were it not for Obama’s War on the Private Sector.

That’s your “Hope and Change” opportunity cost, pal.

Maybe if dimmocrats would take some economics and finance courses in college instead of fuzzy studies they would understand.

Here’s definitional help if you need it.

What is also laughable is the growth in the money supply, that has fed the bubble in the stock market. When the international financial/currency markets burst, ugh….we will have to see how Big Daddy responds..another excuse for more statism, intrusions to bring on the “audacity of change”….It will interesting how the Supreme Leader is judged long after we are gone to meet our maker…suspect it will be seen as part of a nation’s inevitable decline. Only a great one would have stopped it, but like most politicians..lighweight and a thin skin combined with arrogant hubris don t provide a basis for great leadership..

Laughable. The stock market is at an ALL TIME high. It has nearly doubled in value since President Obama took office. And you call this a “weak” rally? You’ll go to any lengths to impugn the President, even the absurd.

Our economy will never recover with the weight of our current government hanging around our necks and sucking the lifeblood from the market like a giant, engorged, foul with corruption, parasitic leech, or should I just say RAGWUS!! 🙂

I wonder how many American adults could even interpret the above chart? Maybe 10-15% would be my guess.

What a racist comment! Who cares what Americans think? The country is awakening to a new day..being American is when an individual thinks he/she/both/it is American Who cares where they live? The past is irrelevant, D day was the product of a white imperialistic power looking to master the world, and even worse they used guns to suppress the benevolent German peacemakers.
