    Apparently representing the slowdown in spending under Obama.

    The debt clock is the best indicator of spending.

    We can not spend our way out of debt.

    One would think Obama would have learned from ’W’s mistakes and realized that ‘Stimulus’ Packages and bailouts will not get us out of debt, it only puts us deeperin debt.

    Trump spent his way out of debt at least twice. He went from Bankrupt, borrowed money to buy buildings and resold at profit. Poor people cannot spend their way out of debt.

    Cartooning is easier if you ignore the facts.

    Even if I had money to play with I still wouldn’t put it in this “market”. Way to volatile for me. I recently read that they need new fiber between NY and Chicago because the satellite links are too slow for the two main exchanges. Imagine: the traders are now complaining about the SPEED OF LIGHT!

    The biggest reasons for the debt are mandatory spending resulting from bills passed by a series of former administrations, unfunded wars, and simultaneous tax cuts.

    What about Solyndra (or however it was spelled), Government Motors (Oh, sorry, General Motors), a bunch of phony alternative energy companies that Obama sank OUR money into, and they went belly up. The stimulus DID NOT WORK! Extending the unemployment forever has been expensive, too. Some of those people have been on unemployment long enough to have gone to college & gotten a two-year degree in a field where there ARE jobs. And yes, there are jobs, just that people are not trained correctly to fill them.

    Agreed. Good point.

    The economy is in much, much better shape than it was January 2009.

    Locher seems to be able to draw one face for Obama, which he then shrinks or expands through photocopying to fit the rest of his cartoon. Pretty limited range.

    To answer your question:

    Insignificant in the great scheme of things.

    And whether GM ever fully repays its loans or not, the auto bailout was a great net positive for the economy.

    The Stock Market went through 14,000…. once under Bush, on the way down, and once under Obama, on the way up.
