Well when you think we want a Soviet style model,

dear, if you don't want a soviet model then why be so afraid to tell us what model you want in each industry. What does your fear teach you. Do you think its coincidental that our liberals spied for Stalin?

You are a brainwashed right wing nut job. Piss off. Not even worth my time. Happy birthday baby jesus. I didn't like adult Jesus. he was a bit of a know it all dick. I liked baby jesus before he got all hippy.

Ur not only gay ur stupid.

Our system is a mix of socialism and capitalism. Our schools and post office for example are socialism. Our state and Federal parks are not run by private corporations. Republicans want them to be. We use to never let private companies run our prisons but slowly republicans are turning them over to Aramark and they are proving us liberals right that some things should not be privatized.

You guys have even turned our fucking elections over to the private corporations. Who knows if Republicans even really won this last midterm. We have to take the word of a corporate owned and easily hackable black box voting machine? Are you fucking kidding me?

You want a system where OUR government isn't in control, corporations are. Because lets face it. You think rich people and corporations should decide, not We the People. Be honest.

So what I'm afraid of is what America is turning into. A fascist corporate banana republic. Capitalism is just another corruptable ISM stupid!!!! It isn't holy. But boy do they have you brainwashed.

By the way, I'll be just fine. I already have hundreds of thousands of dollars saved for retirement, my home and car paid off and my parents will leave me a small fortune. That doesn't mean I want my country to turn into a fascist country. I would like to leave my nephews something when I die and I don't want gas and healthcare to eat up everything I saved.

Every other country in the world has national healthcare. Americas healthcare solution got out of control. If you look at what happened it seems the for profits got out of control. Same with the oil companies. They helped cause the global recession of 2007. I don't say take them over but we need to regulate corporations if they are gouging us. Do you know that oil speculation was costing SUV owners $12 more at the pump every time they filled up? Regulators! Mount up. Did you know that in 1999 we punished a lot of companies for hiring illegals and as soon as Bush got in no more companies were fined. As if the GOP wanted corporations hiring illegals so it would help lower wages and break the American middle class. Disaster Capitalism anyone?

Republicans slammed the brakes on the recovery by stopping investment and laying off public workers

what investment exactly ? Why are you afraid to say? What does your fear teach you?

Investment in our country. Infrastructure, public works, police, teachers, R&D, healthcare

The same way we fought our way out of every other recession

There are two kinds of Republicans. Those that invest in economic growth, and enjoy the fruits of our economy, and those that don't know anything about economics, are not rich, do not invest, and then blame the democrats and minorities for the overall decline of the Middle Class. Trying to educate the latter group is a hopeless task. As for me, I spent most of my life voting republican, and my inner republican stays with me even today. So, guys, pay attention, and next time the republicans get into bed with an industry, like they did with pharmaceutical, for instance, get into bed with them, like I did. Your wife will thank you. Your broker will thank you. The IRS will thank you, and Mit and his pals will thank you. Hell, even the democrats will respect you! It is the whiners who blame their being losers on everybody else that we don't respect.

 

[Manonthestreet]

All coincides with Fed Reserve pumping.......any whiff of less pumping causes a crash...........reality will intrude sooner or later. If economy is so good why all the massive dependency and poverty numbers......... I thought libs were against welfare for the rich.

How many of you benefited from the Dow increasing 11,000 points? How are your wages going?

Well, it doubled my net worth, and had no impact on my wages, since I am retired, so it is all good.

 

[saveliberty]

Did you sell and realize the profit?

My retirement will be a lot more comfortable......thank you

 

[Vandalshandle]

Did you sell and realize the profit?

Not yet, but I have a very specific DOW target in mind. Granted, I have been lucky up until now. I sold 50% in early 2007. I put a lot of it back in when Obama was elected. I knew that healthcare was going to soar, and that Ford was a steal, and that Financials were at bargain prices. I was right.

 

[saveliberty]

Ford seems to be a good play buying at 13.75 and selling at 18.

I'd be more cautious and lock in the profit soon, otherwise its just money on paper.

For several reasons, including tax reasons, I think that I need to stay in the market. I am looking at cutting back about 50% again around 19,500 DOW. I'm still cash rich from my 2007 sell off, so I can afford it.

Too stupid,taxing for infrastructure slows economy down. If the lib soviet govt can't build a bridge to nowhere the people can build something useful. Econ 101 for the perfect illiterate liberal.

Evidently not

Austerity enforced by Republicans held the economy back. With record low interest rates near zero, we could have invested heavily in infrastructure and stimulated the economy creating millions of jobs

Instead, we are stuck with our dated, crumbling infrastructure and Republicans gloating that the recovery is taking so long

So how exactly is our Lame Duck Prez responsible for the Dow Jones?

What policy did he pass by law has helped the economy?

Good question......
Let's go back to 2009 with the market having dropped from 14000 down to 6600. Bush had watched like a deer in the headlights as the market tumbled
Bush made a few feeble attempts to stop the tumble but Obama took decisive action saving the banks and auto companies while adding stimulus to an economy all other investors were bailing on
The economy reversed within weeks

Baby Bush learned economics from his "Read my lips, NO NEW TAXES", dad, who was also known as the guy who answered the question, "What are you going to do about the recession, Mr. President?", with the answer, "I am not aware of any recession", right before he was voted out of office.

Bush did not acknowledge we were in a recession until a month after the 2008 election
