Yeah, one of the great hypocrisies in listening to liberals criticize Reagan and the 1980's is that the Clinton-90's really was the Decade of Greed...built on bubbles and corporate scandals.
Must be in the DNC press release. I remember seeing this week's cover of U.S. New & World Report saying the same stuff.
Anybody have a visual?
One more thing:
IF YOU BOUGHT STOCKS DURING THE LAST FIVE YEARS (401K, ETC.) THE AVERAGE JOE DID MUCH BETTER THAN IF THE MARKET HADN'T DIPPED.
My employees are very happy with their retirement accounts.
many are left behind in the stock market because they shoved all their money in gold and real estate since the dot com crash. While not a bad place to put money longterm, this means they aren't making much money in the stock market. DUUUUHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
The article is pure liberal sleeze trying to make the economy sound bad because elections are next month.
Too bad the poor folks couldn't have participated in the upswing by having private SS accounts.
This demands a retraction because it is an outright lie.
The libs blame republicans for the sun rising and setting too.
>President Bush inherited a MESS from Slick--an economic recession, corporate malfeasance, and due to Slick's national security malfeasance, 9/11.<
You are absolutely correct. It boggles the mind, how short are the memories of most Americans. They hear it, over and over, how bad the Bush economy is, to this day.
I agree with you. It amazes me how effective the Bush tax cuts have been to turn the economy around, in spite of an ongoing war.
The Democrats are just salivating at the chance to reverse the tax cuts, and the very Americans (the poor, and many working people) who pay NO TAXES AT ALL are cheering them on.
Sorry, for one year, it shows as that.
Thanks!
New York Times stylebook recommends, "Women, Minorities Disproportionately Impacted, Experts Say". The appendix contains a list of experts who'll say anything to be quoted in the NYT.
nobody gets left behind except the shorts. couldn't happen to a nice bunch. everyone benefits from a good economy. I will be so glad when the election politics are over. This year's have been so gay.
They were left behind because they weren't smart enough to invest in the stock market.
Them's the breaks
Your right!!!! It does not take much to start your investments. I started with the DRIP program which I felt was pretty easy and inexpensive. Can you imagine if these "unfair" people had bought one share of Walmart in 1982 or so. They would be millionaires. I get sick and tired of unrealistic journalism and people.
That headline is really funny, the MSM are making fools of themselves. Who reads the Chicago Tribune, welfare queens? I can't believe that they think that their readership buys into what they are selling.
Yes, the stock market is a big conspiracy by white males to keep everyone else in the poor house.
Damn you New York Times for exposing this!!!
people forget that the economic BOOM of the 90's started under Bush41, not Slick!!
We came out of recession and the boom started in the second quarter of '92, and Slick took over in '93!!
BOTTOM LINE:
Slick INHERITED an economy that had started a boom--and left it in RECESSION!
Those are FACTS--tell your liberal friends to look it up.
"The economy was roaring along. The jobless rate was a low 4 percent." This is an outright lie. Unemployment never got below 5% under clinton.
Did the DNC write this article?
