Yup, housing values and sales back up, Dow over 14,000 again, jobs slow, but improving. Considering the “W” years turned the economy into a submersible, it takes time even blowing the ballast tanks to resurface.
I thought you Lefties hated the “Rich Wall Street Thieves” that make millions in the stock market? Btw those 40 million plus long term unemployed and underemployed probably aren’t investing a lot of money in the stock market or real estate when they can barely afford to fill their gas tank under Barry’s economy. And YES after over 4 years it is Barry’s economy.
Oh let us all sing Happy Days are Here again! Housing back up, like back to 2006 levels? No, it’s barely up year over year and mostly in multi-family housing since most people still can’t afford housing.
The Dow? Driven by money churned out by Uncle Ben’s printing presses to inflate our currency and wall st is about the only group to benefit. Unemployment, went up to 7.9% and is consistently under the 250,000 new jobs needed to keep up with population growth. Yeah, things are just hunkey dorey, that’s for sure…
Once the ‘moochers occupying wall street’ went back under their rocks the economy took off? Once the occupier of the white house is gone just think of what the economy can do? Go parabolic.
The anchor’s name is Mitch McConnell and the chain are the right-wing extremists who control the hysterically gerrymandered House."
Not Obamacare? Not the fact that the D has been in charge of the purse strings since 2006? Or how about Obama’s obsession with billionaires millionaires? that type of wealth envy class warfare has done wonders for Cal. and the like? Or how about the magic green jobs Obama promised us? His political bundlers got rich off those blunders. So I have given you examples please give me a few as to what Mitch has done. And do not say stood in front of Obama and is way. That either shows what a piss poor leader Obama is or Mitch is standing up for somethin that will hel;p the economy and Obama and the D are to blinded by the D in back of their name.
So Henry, you are saying that Americans don’t deserve afordable healthcare? You are rich enough to buy it yourself, but don’t think others should have if they are poor?
funny how the market ‘dove’ after W tried to warn the DemocRATS about the upcoming FAILURES in the system but Barnet Frank lead the way saying it won’t happen. by the way the Dow was only over 14000 for less than a minute and srated to drop again. the Economy is still not close to being back up where it was in the W years.
The so-called “affordable health care” has made US poorer. We are on Medicare, have to pay extra for our plan this year, last year cost nothing. Co-pays have gone up, cost of meds has gone up. Total cost will be over $1,000.00 more this year than last. Just what is affordable about THAT??? Oh, let me guess, we should just have the grace to die and get out of your way. Someday, if you are lucky, you too will be old. Good luck.

Job growth started slowing in Jan ‘07 and it went negative in Jan ’08. By Sep ’08, we were in the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression. Here’s the data.

There was a reason GHW called it “voodoo economics”, and the troll brigade is obviously ignoring their own guy’s accurate statement. But hey, better to believe Rush than economists who win Nobel prizes, even “righty” and “lefty” experts confess that things are slowly improving, but political pundits in the mass media always win the day, with some.
