So where's the Admin giggling about the latest job numbers?? Oh yeah... :( |
|
"With the jobless data and weakness out of the European markets, stocks are down again," said Steven Goldman, market strategist at Weeden & Co.
"There's a heightened sense of nervousness and markets look to be testing the lows of two weeks ago, when we had the mini-crash," he said. On May 6, the Dow lost nearly 1000 points during the session before recovering to close down 348 points.
the half-life of the "Bush-Effect" is growing near... fix this shit or you'll OWN it.

I had not realized that all of the problems Bush got us into could be easily solved in 2 years.

I'm upset because D.C. is playing this like a bunch of politicians...
We've all sat here and watched as the Admin spends BILLIONS on useless WARS, BILLIONS on useless BAILOUTS and hasn't done anything to produce non-Gov't employment.
do SOMETHING.

4. some things can't be 'fixed' |
|
the ditch Pretzeldent Narcissist ran us into is a deep deep fissure in the earth. the best we can hope for is to crawl out alive.
rebuilding an economy based on speculative scams takes time, especially when the ability of the feds to stimulate is constrained by
a. 2 wars. b. irresponsible tax cuts on the wealthy (thank christ they expire next year). c. lack of any remaining industrial capacity.

5. So in Obama's first year the stock market recovers and gains 40% on its |
|
base number and you post an OP complaining about the stock market because on one particular day it went down 348 points after it climbed 4,000 points over the last 15 months?
That is rich.

I'm complaining because I see POLITICIANS out there with their wide grins, bouncy steps and back-slaps when the numbers are up and how they HIDE when the numbers are bad.
I just want honesty and less POLITICIAN.

10. Maybe you missed the part when the Pres., directly after stating |
|
in increase in jobs created said that it wasn't enough and that more jobs need to be created before they could in essence take a victory lap (my words). Oh, think how much better things would be if Nader had been elected. :rofl:
