OK, so we got doom and gloom posts all day last week. Now that the Dow is roaring back, where are all the threads about how great Bush is or something like that (as if presidents or bailout plans actually have anything to do with the Dow)?
1 year ago the market was at it's highest point EVER...how can that be????
Wish I was one of them....
The Shop
Also they were saying today that the bond markets were not open and the Canadians were having a holiday and the Japanese banks were closed. How does that affect today? If the answer is too long just ignore my question.
And as long as Im asking questions: If our markets problems are mostly related to the subprime lending that went on.....then why are most of the Worlds markets crashing at the same time?
Sure, it's up now but what happens tomorrow? how many points did it fall last week? You don't think it will happen again? You think it is fixed. We would all be better off if they let the "free market" system tank and correct itself. This is artificial and will fail again.
Pit Row
And success in the war? Define success in this war. Gas prices will never come back down to where they were before bushy took office. Stock market going up, well, just wait till next week. Or even tomorrow... This isn't over.
But thanks for playing...
I've been around much longer than you, dip shit.
And besides that...you just proved my point.
In one breath you say that Bush has nothing to do with this, and in the very next say he's the guy that helped run us into this mess. See what I mean? You morons like to blame Bush for the bad things, but don't give him credit for the good. If he has nothing to do with the rise, then he has nothing to do with the fall. I can excuse your stupidity, but at least be consistent.
And how did I "prove" your point? I clearly said bush ran us into this mess. I don't see where you think I am agreeing with you or proving your point.
You said in one breath: "You think this stuff has to do with Bush?" Not giving Bush credit for a rise in the market.
And in the next: "He is the guy that helped run us into this mess." Blaming Bush for the mess.
Exactly what I said people like you do all the time.
You either need to give him credit/fault for everything, or nothing...to blame him for the bad, and not give him credit for the good just make you look dumb.
And I've never been clicked...never. Not once.
You've been clicked
Fact
Anyway, you said we were "winning" the war... you failed to define what you consider a win.
You know, skip that question. Let's start with something easier for you... are you better off today than before W? You think America is safer? You think the economy is better? (I know those last 2 questions probably stumped you so consider this open book)
Got any proof of your supposed "fact"????
The buck stops with the president. The department of the treasury is directly under his control. The treasury developed the meat of the bailout plan. The bailout plan is responsible for the rise in the stock market.
Bush didn't create at environment where this was acceptable. Wall Street bankers did.
Anyway, personally, I don't blame Bush for the rise or the fall. I dont' give him that much credit (or any president). But you should at least be consistent.
I didn't once say "winning"...I said "successes" (look it up).
And there have been successes? The surge...worked. Hussien? Not in power (and I'm not talking about Obama)....Have we "won" the war? No. But in the midst of it there have been small successes.
I am 100% better off today than I was before Bush took office (the past 5 years have been the very most productive of my professional career). The economy is about the same actually (the dow is a bit higher...I think it was in the 7000 range in early 2000, but my memory could be wrong), Bush inherited the economy left over from the dot-com crash...so it wasn't all that good when he got it.
Like I said...you either need a life jacket, or to get out of the deep end so the adults can swim.
