Look for a Bear Market Rally, consisting of a 10% - 20% market increase over the next 6-12 weeks. These almost always happen during a recession. Whether they are an actual long term "recovery" is the real question....maybe, maybe not. Hopefully, we have seen the bottom...its seems might have.
You and Droski must have thought Bush was the market anti-christ his last 6 months in office then. I don't seem to remember either of you railing on Bush about screwing up the market though.
I got it guys, with Bush it is systemic market issues, with Obama it is his fault. Obama can do no good, Bush can do no wrong.
They are giving you an explanation of their rationale, and you are not listening. You don't have to agree, but don't be intentionally obtuse.
Trust me, I am listening. I have had these debates with BPV and others multiple times. I see what they are peddling. It is just nice how there is an excuse for anything wrong that happened economically under Bush, and 60 days into the Obama presidency everything is his fault.
i don't think people are making excuses for Bush, Bush did not propose an 8% increase in spending and did not raise every tax possible for the people who provide jobs. Bush did spend alot (which i disagreed with greatly) but the treasury did have record tax receipts. Bush did not stop or prevent the growth of the economy by taxes the heck out of everybody.
I don't want socialism, and there are major differences I have with Obama on some of his initiatives. I am just talking about how the debate is being framed here.
But nobody is saying that. All I hear is that tax cuts have a direct positive effect on the market. If this is the case, then comments like "a president can only get in the way of the market" make no sense. Statements like this are quick to be thrown around with Obama. Bush has a positive effect, Obama doesn't. Market dynamics are used to defend Bush and denigrate Obama at the same time. It's Tom Foolery.
