No Republican mentions the DOW.....WHO CARES? It is not the sole gauge of the nations economy. How come Democrats NEVER mention the growing national debt? Why are Democrats not talking about bankrupt cities and states?Originally Posted by MellonColly

If you really want to cut the deficit, cut the military. US defense spending is insane.

politics is like justin bieber, i dont care

we are cutting military spending in a way by Obama ending the war in iraq on the day that BUSH promised, and by ending the war in Afghan on the UN agreed date.
when the tech bubble burst, and when 9*/11 happened the market was teh NUMBER ONE indication of damage to the economy. its not the sole gauge but its a HUGE ONE, but so is the debt, unemployement, and retail sales. all which are doing better except the debt.
The recovery part is working you cannot DENY it, but they will say its not good enough, which is fine. The debt is an issue that needs to be addressed, but not by gutting the lowest income families and middle class, or for that matter any class.
Command Sergeant
how would u suggest to reduce the debt? as the money that is circulating is a loan
Major
when so and so came to office bla bla
Unemployment
Bush came in office at 4.1%, left office at 7.8%
Obama came in office 7.8%, TODAY 7.8% (after going past 10%)
Market Dow/Jones
Bush came in office at 10,662, left office at 9,034
Obama came in office at 9,034, TODAY 13610 (after going as low as 6,626)
Retail sales are up up up! Good news for us all.

Its quite evident that the Obama led country has stopped the bleeding and is on it's way to recovery. The debt sucks, and needs to be dealt with, but things are looking UP!
Looks like REAL recovery to me.

This will be the only response I make to this one but if one will remember correctly, the democratic party took over the house and senate in 2008. That is when the economy started to tank. Just a reminder, the president can't write a check. The practice of partisan non cooperation really li ked in at that point. The administrative branch of the US govt was basically ineffective from that point forward. The house and senate, whi h is where the real power lies, refused to work with the administration. Without bipartisan cooperation is the only way to bring the economy back to what it was.
Sergeant
dogma if you really think the economy started to tank in 2008 you need to check your facts. It started way before that with bush. The effects of what he did started to show in 2008. Don't be fed the same bs fox news does
