I also forgot to mention..North Korea is shutting down their nuclear reactor..thanks to Bush's firm stand...looks like 8yrs of Clinton appeasement did nothing.

I forgot...many underclass Liberals refuse to work and participating in the booming economy is problematic for them.

From the looks of the majority of Lib answers as usual they are missing out participating in the booming economy. Sitting in ones parents basement all day posting on YA is not conducive to building wealth...

Ohhh...you shouldn't have even asked this question. You know you are going to get all kinds of negative reactions from all the liberals. "A recession is coming, the middle class is too poor, I don't get free health insurance, the world owes me a living, the rich just keep getting richer," and on and on and on.
Unemployment is low, people have more money in their pockets, the Dow is the highest it has ever been...this just kills people. It is unfortunate that people in our country want a bad economy just to add fuel to their hatred for Bush.
Go ahead liberals, give me the thumbs down. It makes me happy when you do.

Bush Economy? Is the Bush economy directly responsible for the Dow hitting 14000? And what about the value of the dollar? Is that factored in there? I don't have stock in the war industry so no, I'm not participating. Wish I could afford healthcare though.

There really is no question here, just immature taunting by someone who is obviously ignorant of both politics and economics. The positive aspects of both politics and economics had/have little to do with either Clinton, or Bush. They simply are what they are. Economics seems to flourish regardless of which idiot we have in the White house, because it absolutely MUST, and the capitalist nature of our society assures that.
N. Korea shutting down their reactor is meaningless from a strategic point of view. They could just as easily turn it back on. They still have a huge army, and they still threaten the Korean peninsula They are however, smart enough to throw some crumbs to Bush to get all the oil they need to support their massive military complex.
Do yourself a little favor. Read some of the history of N. Korea, and a few books on the U.S. market economy. Then, you are less likely to embarrass yourself in public with meaningless dribble disguised as legitimate intellectual discourse.

Since gas used to cost about $1 a gallon under Clintonomics, and now costs $3 a gallon under Bushonomics, so the Dow should be at 30,000 to be where it was when Clinton was President.
Bush's fake economy is destroying the nation.
North Korea never developed Nukes until Bush was in office.
Bush has never been able to get the terrorist threats down to the green level.

We paid off North Korea for the time being. The jury is still out on if this will work with Iran.
Why must simpletons equate Dow highs with presidents? Whether Democrat or Republican, it's not that simple folks.

Why thank you yes I am with the Canadian and American dollar trading almost at par I am taking this opportunity to import cheap American goods, since America has much lower minimum wages as well as a massive illegal workforce American products seem to be very cheap. I can then roll over and sell them for a tidy profit on the Canadian market.

why do cons only look at the part of the facts that supports their opinions instead of the whole truth? What's our national debt at right now? How's the dollar doing on the world market? These apply also and aren't doing as hot as you would like. Simple fact is if a company was ran the way our nation is right now.. the investors would have turned tail and ran a long time ago.

Stock market averages are merely leading indicators, not an overall measure of the strength of an economy.
To get a more complete measure, one must consider other factors such as housing, the PPI (producer price index--the true source of inflation), personal/credit card debt and defaults, etc.

So how many more U.S. soldiers need to be injured or killed for your KB&R stock to go up enough for you to get the 'big' condo when you retire?
I have been saving for retirement since I was a teenager and I have been paying into Social Security since that time also.
If the government would keep their mits off of it and stop borrowing from it there wouldn't be any problems paying SS claims!!
We are engaged with militarized economic globalization.
It's a pretty grotesque system if you ask me!!

Answer: No, the market is passing me by...Thank Gawd for my IRA! Most of the current stock boom is people investing in it with retirement funds! Liberals either LIE! Or do not plan to retire.
