You're building an economy on a foundation made of sand.
Lot of tall buildings in Florida are built on sand.
You're just as good at architecture and engineering as you are at economics.

...but you'll never let a moment pass without posting an ad hominem attack. As I posted, the dumber ones always default to personal attacks.
Spin this, PoliticalChic & RW nutters!
Drone strikes kill, maim and traumatize too many civilians, U.S. study says - CNN.comDo you deny Reagan increased the national debt by building swords, and Obama by building plowshares? Or is that two abstract for you?
For those IGNORANT cock suckers in here pretending the shit stain kenyan in the white house has ANYTHING to do with the stock market. It is ALL FED MONEY being PUMPED into it called "QUANTITATIVE EASING," and it won't LAST FOREVER.
Can the Fed Cause a Stock Market Crash?
Stock markets shudder at prospect of 'easy money era' ending
A Federal Reserve program that buys bonds to spur economic growth could begin tapering off soon. The stock markets' reaction shows how important 'QUANTITATIVE EASING' became.
I wonder what real conservatives feel when they read your stupid and vulgar comments.
I hope you're not saying Democrats are for the people.He has. Simply by expanding and ramping up previously perilous monetary policies that caused "the great recession" in the first place. Although, I didn't really expect him to change that...or change anything for that matter. What you're saying is a recovery, is artificially induced by the federal reserves actions. Actions that can not be maintained, adn once they are tapered and stopped, will result in yet another, deeper reversal in "recovery". That's a fact. No, that's an opinion.There is also a historical record of today's naysayers claiming Obama has worsened the Great Recession he inherited form Bush. Do you deny that too? You accusing anyone of hyper-partisanship is a classic pot kettle comment.
No, it is not. There is a bigger bubble being created that will inevitably burst. When that occurs, all these "gains" artificially induced will come crashing down. Republicans have nothing to do with it, and frankly neither does Obama. BOTH like the federal reserves policies. Answer this: Why does the Fed exist?
Housing,by your own articles admission, is in a state of artificial flux. Form your own link, wry:
Do you understand what this means? Let me try to break it down for the inept ont he subject. Artificially low interest rates creaate artificial demand, when those rates are moved up, that will be the end of the trend of "recovery". Mortgage rates are already rising due to...wait for it....wait for it...the federal reserve indicating that it will back off its QE policies. Which are what keep this "recovery" moving. It's not a sustainable course of action. They know it. You should too. But alas....
What you say has a grain of truth, but, the less foreclosed properties, the less empty houses and neighborhoods = greater consumer spending and less crime. Simply looking at one index and projecting your bias isn't science and isn't convincing. Yes, I posted one index in the OP, but there are many more aspects to the economy than that one. Keep in mind we can both find 'economists' to support our biases.
Do you deny Reagan increased the national debt by building swords, and Obama by building plowshares? Or is that two abstract for you?
Why woudl I deny facts? Reagan increased the debt. Obama is increasing the debt. Neither action is good for the american people. COntrary to dulardish assertions.
If both actions kept us from the abyss, the debt is the lesser of the consequences. Keep in mind a nation is not an individual - real or corporate - and we will (hopefully) elect adults to Congress who work for the nation and not themselves or their owners.

Thanks to daveboy, Nero, CrusaderFrank, Whitehall and 007 for proving me correct.
The President has little to do with the performance of the stock market, so the OP has little significance. The deregulation of the 80's, which started in the Carter administration and gained full momentum under Reagan, played a part in the subsequent boom, but a boom was already due and would have happened anyway. The reason? The simple ebb and flow of developed economies. Likewise, Bush had about as much to do with the housing crash as Obama has had in its recovery: next to nothing.
Nothing to spin, OP, nothing to spin.

Gee, ya think. But what of all the posts over the first four years of President Obama's Administration where the right wing blamed him and Nancy Pelosi for all of our economic ills. Your post suggests the POTUS is irrelevant. Do you believe that to be true?
I just pointed out your hypocrisy.Is the Stock Market good or Evil?

You so DESPERATELY want it all to be Bush's fault, with none sticking to Obama.The President has little to do with the performance of the stock market, so the OP has little significance.

There's some more of that hypocrisy that makes you lash out emotionally when it's pointed out.As posted on page one: "The dumb ones will try, and use all of the usual pejoratives to describe me and the source of the link as: Commies, Marxists, Socialists, libtards, dumbocrat, etc.

Only an ignoramus would ask such a question. So I'm not surprised you would post such a stupid question. The answer to your stupid question is this: The Stock Market is Amoral.
Damn you're dumb. Do you post in drag as Stephanie or Willow Tree?
Tell me again how much quantitative easing, Reagan employed to get the stock market to grow, Catcher? This stock market is almost completely driven by Fed. money being pumped into the economy at almost 0% interest rates. Every time that the Fed. even HINTS that QE might be halted the market goes into a nosedive. You're building an economy on a foundation made of sand. At the first sign of that easy money drying up Wall Street is going to run for cover.
Why even waste board space with this nonsense?
