Household wealth in the U.S. climbs to a record

[Kosh]

Stocks do 9 times better with a Democrat in the White House....

While Republicans promote themselves as the friendliest party for Wall Street, stock investors do better when Democrats occupy the White House. From a dollars- and-cents standpoint, it’s not even close.

The BGOV Barometer shows that, over the five decades since John F. Kennedy was inaugurated, $1,000 invested in a hypothetical fund that tracks the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX) only when Democrats are in the White House would have been worth $10,920 at the close of trading yesterday.

That’s more than nine times the dollar return an investor would have realized from following a similar strategy during Republican administrations. A $1,000 stake invested in a fund that followed the S&P 500 under Republican presidents, starting with Richard Nixon, would have grown to $2,087 on the day George W. Bush left office.

What a sucker Chris is for this kind of tripe.

Not everybody had money to benefit from the stock market. That is why Obama is still crying about the minimum wage.

Additionally, when the GOP isn't cleaning up after democratic morons like Carter (recall his really really low unemployment numbers ???? ), they are usually fighting off a democratic congress.

Keep sucking on your Obama doll Chrissy...sooner or later..you'll get what you want.

None of your reply has anything to do with what Chris posted

Neither is this reply here! However never stop you and all the other far left Obama drones for derailing threads now has it?

Hypocrite!

Are you insane?

The stock market is the bedrock for capitalism.

Of COURSE it benefits everyone. And OUR economy is interwoven with it. It cannot be separated.

Additionally, Carter? Really?

Carter got us OUT of the mess created by Nixon and Ford. We had a brand new Phenomenon called "Stagflation" under those administrations.

Nixon's solution was a nation wide wage freeze.
Ford's solution was to print out little buttons that said "Whip Inflation Now" or W.I.N.

Carter? He appointed Paul Volcker Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Volcker then raised interest rates to create a deliberate recession and cool the markets.

That, by the way, WORKED.

You could come up with numbers and stuff to show my post was incorrect.

But that would be Hard Work.

There it is again on display that far left infantile mentality, "I know I am posting bunk, but it is up to you to prove me wrong".

The federal reserve, the one who created the conditions for stock portfolios and home prices to increase, hold on their balance sheet now after accumulating trilliions in QE, the difference between a long term growth pattern assocaited with savings and sound money and the inevitable collapse of the bubble they pumped back up after they poopped it 5 years ago. You have roughly two years to gloat before the next inevitable and far deeper downturn occurs and we play 52 pick up again.

It's like you people haven't been paying atatntion since the last time it happened and cheer for the SAME shit that blew up in our faces beofre.

the big question is, will liberals ever decide it's time to learn about economics? Or will they continue to live the fantasy regarding it? So far, I do not see anyone wising the fuck up. So it's safe to say your cheering now will be your crying later.

eggs-zact-tel-lee !!

I love it when the economy does exactly what conservatives have been planning for 30 years. Mainly, maintain a low paid workforce while wealth is generated at the top.

Then they look puzzled and ask? Why are there so many poor people?

Not happy about what?

Wealth?

Wealth makes me very happy. I buy stuff. And it's good for the economy.

What doesn't make me happy is when greedy people go on overload and the government assists them.

That makes me unhappy.


The Reagan/George W. Bush years was the undoing of the very protections and regulations meant to keep markets stable, trusted and generate a "middle" class of people who are productive and benefit from their productivity.

Is it really rocket science?

After seeing the near collapse of the financial industry, why the heck to you have idiots like Ted Cruz railing against Dodd/Frank?

Why isn't congress passing a raise in minimum wage?

Why aren't they spending money on education, infrastructure and giving states block grants to hire police/firemen/sanitation men/etc?

Heck why are they keeping that onerous statue in place that requires the postal service to finance retirement accounts for the next 1000 years?

Raising the minimum wage would increase consumption and put a fire under the consumer driven economy.

Same with states and the federal government hiring again. It would also tighten labor markets and encourage private hiring.

Gosh.

I'm willing to invest money in low cost healthcare, affordable education, mortgage assistance, retirement programs and have those who saw the benefit of that $20 trillion pick up the tab

Are you?

It is only the very few on the left who despise the wealthy to the point of wanting to see them do bad. It's not about how well or poorly the wealthy are doing; it's about how everyone is doing. When it's only one segment of society that is reaping the benefits then it's a problem. That doesn't mean everyone wants to see the wealthy lose their asses, because that would not be good for anyone else either.

The problem with most on the right is that they see everyone other than themselves as being radical and wanting to see America destroyed. The notion is a bit infantile.
