Remember, the market is simply responding to Barry's actions.

Barry's Admin sets stage for War with Iran.

Here's the Pitch:

Reporting from Sharm El Sheik, Egypt -- The Obama administration has already concluded that a diplomatic overture to Iran, one of the central promises of the president's election campaign, is unlikely to persuade Tehran to give up its nuclear ambitions.
When do we start bombing?

The market responds to confidence.

Confidence not found.

Look at that graph on "max". The best shows that the best Dow ever did was between 06-07

The market was artificially inflated to the max with the bad mortgage backed securities and credit default swaps.

you throw those words around like you know what they mean. we wouldnt be talking about CDOs and swaps if Americans hadnt racked up so much debt.


US citizens now have as much debt as our GDP, 13 trillion dollars. last time that ratio was 1:1? 1929

And then? I wouldn't talk about workman's comp if I didn't get hurt on the job either.

I spent lots of time reading and trying to comprehend why this all happened and how it could have been avoided. So now I have a basic concept of what happened and I used financial buzz words to some it up. So sue me.

Edit: I'm not the one with the "Imagine no religion" pic of the towers that coincidentally stood in a country that was colonized by Protestants.

failing to enforce the law we have on the books is ultimately what caused it.

I'll go with that. We've created a virtual law making monster on the federal and state levels.

Ah yes, but I think the protestants had the final word on this piece of land.

So if Poncho Villa had successfully annexed New Mexico, Texas and California back to Mexico you would have no problems?

Or if the American Indians revolted and took back the lands they once inhabited?

I'm not accusing I am curious to see if you feel that way about all aspects or just the Europeans' conquering the American Indian.
