1. And they say Democrats don't know how to run things

Prosperity is so much better without Republicans running the show

2. That's An Awesome Graphic! It's Going Straight Up On My Wall O'Politics!!

Front and center! That simple graphic fucking speaks volumes, and the neocon in the office behind me (inspired the wall o'politics) is a huge market freak. I can't wait for him to eat this one!

Thanks!

3. Whoa. And guess who wants SOCIAL SECURITY to become stock market fodder?

The 2%'ers... Whoops.

Good way to go politicking... but hilarious all the same as the chart reflects 75 YEARS...

4. This is only part of the story but really interesting!

5. Balanced budgets will do that.

Generally lower interest rates.

Bush got low interest rates, but the money went into the housing speculation that is currently running its course. Before he is done, Bush may be the proud owner of another stock turn and a housing bust to go with his other achievements.
