OMG! How COOL is DOW 14,000?

Question

How SMOKING HOT is this Bush ECONOMY?

Since August 2003, more than 8.2 million jobs have been created, with more than 2 million jobs created over the twelve months ending in June. Our economy has now added jobs for 46 straight months, and the unemployment rate remains VERY low at 4.5 percent.

Answer 1

Liberals on suicide watch?

Answer 2

This is completely a result of Trickle Down Economics. Bush has been virtually expert at enacting the policy and look what has happened.

Thanks Uncle Ronnie!!!

It is absolutely amazing at how ignorant people are about economics! You libs are so ignorant it really is just shocking!

Quick lesson: As the companies of the DOW, even if it is only the 30 top companies, continue to grow, how do they handle that growth? Do they hire more employees or force the current workforce to do more in less time? Second, for those who say it is only the rich who are profitting. What do the rich do with that money? They buy things! Who builds, maintains, installs and supports those things the rich buy? The Middle Class! And finally, McDonald's is hiring here in New Orleans starting at $9.00 an hour with a $500.00 signing bonus. For those with high school educations and/or those looking for better, that ain't too bad. If you want to say that working at McDonald's is a career path, then you either work your butt off to get promoted or stay lazy and complain you can't make a living. Either way the job market is there, it is good, and salaries are what people want them to be. As for the growing expense for daily goods, you think maybe that has something to do with the cost of getting those products to your local grocery store? Eliminate or reduce that cost and the costs of those products will come down.

Simple economics and sorry for the book.

Answer 3

Those that aren't doing good in this economy are the ones that can't or won't
1. Take advantage of opportunity's put before them.
2. Stop doing the same things over and over expecting different results (definition of insanity).
3. Move to where the jobs and opportunities are. Sure, stay in Pittsburgh. The steel industry is done there you big dummies.
4. Take responsibility for their own screwy choices and decisions.

Answer 4

What part of a $9 trillion debt over the next ten years and all ran up by Bush and Republicans in Congress is it that you do not understand? Also the occupation of Iraq will cost working class tax payers $2 trillion over the same ten years. The DOW being at 14,000 is nice if you own stocks. A full 50 percent of Americans do not invest in the market. Since you voted for a Idiot and a draft Dodger twice, I really hope you got a nice tax cut and I also hope you made millions in the stock market.
BTW, I also hope your not one of the 46 million Americans, half of which are women and children that have no basic Health Insurance.. No other Country on Earth treats women and children this badly. WE rank 37th. in health care. The UK, France, Italy and Spain are all ranked higher.

Answer 5

Id like to know then, why the dollar has steadily lost its value in the international market? seriously. when a countries economy is good, its currency is more valuable internationally... so why has ours been going down since the almighty Bush came to office

Answer 6

Um yeah that's what happens when a nation is at war. Look at history. Has nothing to do with gwb or the administration except the fact they brought us into a war.

thx for the pts though

Answer 7

Ooops, isn't it amazing that with the war going on, the economy is booming, jobs are being created and the tax cuts are fueling this growth. The liberal Democrats don't want to talk about the economy, it makes them look bad.

This country is growing and doing well, what we have to do is clean up a few issues the American people want taken care of, like, illegal immigration, social security, nationwide affordable health care.

Lets see if the politicians will deal with these or keep trying to loose the war for us.

Answer 8

Okay, since there have been 8.2 million jobs created and the unemployment rate has remained the same, what have we gained? And the Dow hitting 14000 is great. If you can afford to own stock.

Answer 9

When taxes are lowered, as they were by George W, the economy often does well. And oddly, MORE revenue comes into the government through taxes. Personally, I think the Liberals should STOP assuming they are a shoe-in for the top job in 2008. It almost looks as though their popularity is coming apart even FASTER than the Republicans are.

Answer 10

The 4.5 % re the left not jobs here that cn not learn to make money and invest to make it owrk for them so they can sit here and make fun of the dumies like them.

Answer 11

This economy is really remarkable. After 9/11/01 it could have tanked into a recession. Instead, it is booming and creating jobs AND keeping inflation low.

Let the good times roll.
