Amazing how Obama is taking away our freedoms, ruining the economy, destroying jobs, stifling business, exponentially increasing government spending, inflating government's size.
If that crummy S&P performance doesn't show it, then what does?
AND WHAT ABOUT BENGHAZI??

Sorry to say that despite the great profits being made on Wall St., there are lines of skilled workers at the labor exchanges looking for $10 per hour. Begging for work. There are shuttered retail centers. Employment participation at an all time low. Unemployment still very high. Friend of mine has a startup tech company. He's paying college grads $12 per hour. I made that much as a college grad 33 years ago.
Good one Capetonian! I've felt that this is a giant shell game for a long time. You're delicate and subtle about your feelings. I am outraged! They are shouting "gun control, Gay Marriage, Women on the front line". When they should be shouting, bring back our industrial base, repatriate profits, clean up the sespools in the inner cities, education, etcetera. |

It's worth noting that all the shouting is done in the media and gay marriage,persons named Kardashian,etc. is the news they think will sell sponsors products.
Actual gov policy and actions are found in he Congressional review and other utterly boring media outlets. |

OK
As of the latest economic report, our growth rate has entered into the minus column, in other words, we are shrinking.
By far, the best, quickest way to get rid of our deficit, is thru growth.
We now have none, we are withering on the vine, this is a fine deal.
Europe, here we come, you are showing us the light towards failure, and we seem to be following you lock step. |

Lets hope this is an up and down process. Clearly we have been down in the past and a bit up as well. |

Five to ten years from now, we will have more jobs than workers as the boomers retire. |

Two caveats:
1. When those boomers retire and start cashing in their stocks and bonds for income, they will depress market prices.
2. If the billionaires and huge nations betting billions and trillions of dollars on a global depression lasting 10-20 years are right, those boomers will not be able to retire. |

What a bunch of nonsense. Predictably, isobars takes coboardhead's optimistic take for the future of jobs as baby boomers retire, and he attempts to throw a wet rag over everything offering nothing but pessimism. Where's the bearing for such negativity? Of course, there isn't any credible evidence to support his gloomy economic conclusions.
"... billionaires and huge nations betting billions and trillions on a global depression"?
What a pantload! |

I would not bet on a global depression. The dow is at 14,000 for the simple reason that investors feel confident. Fear and uncertainy depress markets. There will be a correction for sure. Things are looking up. What drove the market past the 14,000 mark was the good jobs report. I forget the exact #'s. |

Because one war has finally been stopped and the other is shrinking with its end in sight. The industries that supplied those wars are shrinking.

Don't worry, Mikey. There will still be enough left to fund free cash disability handouts.

And for Mikey, his big pants means a huge load.
