Wow! Imagine where it would be if the economy wasn't in the toilet and didn't need a *jump-start*. :wink:

No kidding. The GOP has really screwed this county up royally. I wonder how long it will take the Dems to get us back to the glory days of Jimmy Carter?

Riddle me this - Why is it that Clinton and the Democrats had nothing to do with their economic boom, but now we have the GOP to thank?

Riddle me this - The British economy has been way ahead of that in the US, with a leftish government. It's nice to see that you chaps have managed to catch up, but what took you so long?

"Worst economy since Herbert Hoover," said John Kerry in 2004, while that year's growth (3.9 percent) was adding to America's Gross Domestic Product the equivalent of the GDP of Taiwan (the 19th-largest economy). :yelling: Nancy Pelosi vows that if Democrats capture Congress, they will "jump-start our economy." A "jump-start" is administered to a stalled vehicle. But since the Bush tax cuts went into effect in 2003, the economy's growth rate (3.5 percent) has been better than the average for the 1980s (3.1 percent) and 1990s (3.3 percent). Today's unemployment rate (4.6 percent) is lower than the average for the 1990s (5.8 percent) — lower, in fact, than the average for the last 40 years (6.0 percent). Some stall.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

It rained yesterday and spoiled the crease of my trousers. It is an outrage that I have to put up with this. Naturally, I've sent the dry cleaning bill to Bush.

Because the Republican congress forced Clinton to cut taxes? Because GWB pushed thru tax cuts?

:lol: :lol: :lol: In early 2000 I cashed in every penny I had in the stock market, with anticipation of investing it in a new start up company. That oportunity never happened and the money has been laying in a foriegn bank since then. It has increased though 77% since I put it there. Considering that if I had left it in the stock market I would have lost about 60% of it early on, I have done pretty good.

I have been putting some in the market and I have been averaging around 7%.

I am happy. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have 4 funds:

Brown is my plan from work which I contribute to every year. Fidelity.
Dark blue is my wife's inheritance - the dip in 1996 is when we withdrew for a downpayment for a house.
Pink and Yellow are funds that have had nothing added to them except the interest and dividends that they earn.

I let a professional handle my money.

I can't complain.

I did very well in bush years. In 2005 my tax savings from his cuts more than paid for my piano.


I still voted against the son of a bitch.

Tell me what Clinton did to bolster the economy, then tell me what Bush did. Therein lies the difference.

Clinton also inherited a huge, overblown and baseless tech boom. Which he also had naught to do with. Bush inherited an economy on the way down and the worst attack on US soil in history.
