Shall we see?! Liberals say America is Bankrupting. Dow Jones at its all time high.?

Question

Liberals say the World Hates Us. Pro-America Governments in German, Japan, Canada and Mexico just won the elections. Even France is now Pro-America.

Where else do Liberals use their Imaginations at?

We invade Iraq for Oil? Proof?! they can not come up with any.
WMD was not found. even Clinton and UN said Saddam processed WMD in the 90s.

What else???

and we were DEBT-FREE before 01/20/2001, right?

America in Debt, you are part of the reason too. dont you know?

Broke what code?

I am debating with FACTS - Dow Jones proves my point and Liberals keep using their Imagination as FACTs.

so now Stocks Market does not mean anything? that is not Liberals told us when it tanked just 3 or 4 months ago.

Answer 1

OK people, I have read most of the responses here and most of you show off your ignorance quite well. The fact is that most of you who have jobs, have some sort of retirement package with that job. Where do you think that money that you have been putting away goes? And if you do not have a retirement package, most of you, about 80%, have health insurance. Those companies have to have money in reserve to cover the costs of the expenses you incurr. Where do you think they invest their money, a bank? And for anyone who has a concern about the US bonds that foriegn nations may own, if this economy tanks, those bonds are worthless. Further, the world's economy depends upon us to buy the goods other nations produce. And those goods are primarily produced by companies that are run by white collar American citizens.

What this question is about is why liberals are claiming that America is bankrupt. America, under liberal socialism as described by every democrat presidential candidate, would quickly become bankrupt since citizens and companies would not be allowed to make profits and expand. Therefore, most of the other countries of this world are very interested in how the US economy fairs and are realizing that as the US goes, so goes the rest of the world. If the US economy tanks, the world falls into mass chaos.

Answer 2

The Republicans always claim that Democrats are bad for business, and will bankrupt companies. I mean, always, as in throughout every Democratic administration, and while Republicans are in the Oval Office too. The Republicans who still believe in some form of 'trickle down" economics always claim that when the rich are rich enough, the country will benefit. Well... Here we are. Wall Street is approaching record highs and all of those Republican claims are shown as ... empty. False. Untrue. Democrats would like to see the Republican story bear fruit. Where is the Utopia a high Dow Jones average provides? Corporations are wallowing in riches... surely high employment is now just around the corner! Right? All of those vaunted "job creators" will now step up and share! Correct? Every Republican mandate has been met. HIgh profits, corporate wealth, investors making money, ... Yet, mysteriously, my 401(K) account is barely holding its own. I don't see jobs flooding the market. They couldn't have been fibbing, could they?

Answer 3

Yes, the Dow Jones did reach an all time high last week but that did not mean that America did well; only 0.7% of that high in the market affected America! The largest percentage went to the rest of the world! Better take a look at it today & in the days to follow. America in not doing as well as the politicians would have you think! All you have to do is go to the grocery store, look at the foreclosures & the listing of houses to sell that are not selling. Look at where everything you buy is being made & then tell me about how well the Dow Jones is doing.

Answer 4

You're right the DOW is at an all time high but it's US debt that Bush has created to pay for the wars that is the problem. If Saudi Arabia & China all of sudden decided to stop buying US Govt Bonds the US would be in serious financial trouble. Kind of like when you can't afford to pay you credit card bills. It's basically the same thing only on a much larger scale. And you're also right about the oil & WMDs. The Iraq war was launched to protect Israel. That's it.

Answer 5

You really need to update your news!

Japan has always been pro-american. But the ruling party of the last 15 years just LOST the election. Guess who won? The Liberal Democratic Party They won on a platform of "proposed to slash government spending by 10,000 billion yen ($US91 billion), eliminate 20 percent of central government employees, raise consumption tax to 8 percent and abolish the Social Insurance Agency."

Sound familiar? As for all the other governments you mentioned, we have always had our allies. What you mean by Pro-American is Pro-Bush. Nobody in any seriousness would be convinced any of those governments are Pro-Bush.

The stock market is based on the GLOBAL economy, which is actually very robust compared to the sluggish economy of the United States. Need proof? Just look at how weak the American Dollar is on the exchange market.

As for the WMD's, our intelligence on that was spotty at best. We relied on the scam-artist Curveball for our information on that, and to start the war. Saddam did not have any WMD's for years!! Easily the most embarrassing episode in American history!

Answer 6

The Dow at an all time high? and what exactly does that prove?
When most of the goods produced by companies that are correlated with the Dow, where made in America, it was a good indication of how the economy was doing.
Now look up those companies, and see if you can find more than a handful of their products that isn't made in China.
The Dow, is now an indication of how well American companies are doing, by doing their production in China, which indicates how well the Chinese economy is doing.

One other thing....you should do some research, and figure out how Exxon's record profits, drives the Dow up, which doesn't reflect how many more Americans are losing their homes.

just a hint: any country whose economy depends on American consumers, will always act "American friendly", especially when Bush boosted the amount of money we give them to be friendly. guess who has to pay that.

Answer 7

The Dow-Jones isn't the end all and be all of the economy. The housing crash started months ago, and is now picking up steam. In the next few months you'll really see the bad results of this, as people have to foreclose. The ripple effect is going to be enormous.

And all those "pro-american" governments haven't changed any of their main policies. I sure didn't see anyone them volunteering to join the surge for example. Nice try though.

Answer 8

First, can't you conservatives get it through your head that most average americans do not own stock, the dow jones means the rich are doing good, and that is exactly our point. The poor are doing terrible and the middle class is becoming poor.
Yes, we fight in Iraq because of oil, we don't fight in N Korea, they have no oil. We don't fight in Africa, they also have no oil. I know it's not proof, but I also know it's true.
We knew that Iraq had WMDs, ie chemical weapons, because the first Bush gave them to Iraq during their war with Iran. This however was not why we invaded, it was oil. The administration, and all the Rep administrations in my memory are govt for the rich. They have succeeded admirably in ruining the country for all who are not rich. We were not debt free when Bush came in to office, by Clinton had balanced the budget. Bush has borrowed more money during his admin than all other 42 presidents before him combined.

Answer 9

Most of the world does have a problem with us. If you noticed, England chased their Prime Minister out because he followed bush into the Iraqi War.

I don't believe you on the "Pro-American" elections. The president went to them to make up for his mistakes. Pro-American? The Middle East elected Hamas. Are they Pro-American?

The debt is due to bush giving the money the Clinton Administration spent 8 years to get the budget balanced. Now bush decided to place us back in record debt.

All-time high is due to rich people making themselves and because they know bush will not bother their money. Have you taken a look at the amount of foreclosures in Real Estate lately? Those who are NOT in the Stock Market are suffering because of YOUR PRESIDENT. CEO's make more in one day than the average person makes IN A YEAR.

A man named Wilson went to Iraq and proved there were NO WEAPONS. What happened to him? They decided to get his wife back by outing her. Remember Valerie Plame? By the way, after bush stated whoever did it would be punished, he decided to commute Libby's sentence. It's called a LIE.

What other LIE you want me to disprove...

EDIT: Your "FACTS" have been disproven by nearly everyone on here. Go get some sleep...

Answer 10

I am so tired of the "liberals vs. the conservatives".......the only way this country(and the world) is going to work is if we get rid of the us vs. them mentality that divides this country (& the world). It's sickening. We compete over everything, money, God, government, etc.

God I hate politics, but couldn't resist answering this anyway =)

PS - wasn't it America that SOLD wmd to Iraq in the 80's/90's???????????????? And that's a fact Jack!!!!!!!
