Wow. Just imagine how bad it would have been had we not passed TARP, Stimulus I & II, Obamacare and extended unemployment benefits indefinately.

The so called job growth of February was mostly in the Obamacare. Just like fed jobs, these jobs are deficit jobs. Your tax dollars will pay for them.

Does this chart say that by the time Obama came into the Presidency, the fall had been going on for 24 months already, and it was -6% (i.e., just about the lowest point on the chart)?

That put most of this on the last 2 years of the Bush administration.

Blam....can you explain to me why the stock market shot up almost 200 points yesterday?

The propaganda claims it was job growth....oil went up yesterday too.

There has to be major manipulation going on in the market. It makes no sense at all.

How much of that represents how good the economy was in 2008?

This is measured from the peak. This is also a measurement of high that peak was.

I looked at the market yesterday and said WTF. Then I looked at the currency to see if the dollar had lost ground and it had not. Oil was up to like 102+. The talking heads we saying how great the jobs numbers were but wall street doesn't typically buy into that BS. Something else was going on. We are two and 1/2 years into this collapse and official unemployment is still through the roof yesterdays numbers are really noting to write home about - Who knows - maybe people fleeing to equities to ride the market up with inflation.Until the piper has to be paid....

The beginning of the chart says 2007. So all of 2007 and 2008 are Bush years, i.e., 24 months of it are Bush years...

In case anyone on FR and this specific thread haven't figured it out yet, our Federal Government is now a criminal enterprise.

Like all criminal enterprises, it exists for it's own success which has nothing to do with the precepts laid out in the Constitution.

It seeks control over all things in order to preserve itself and amass power and wealth to itself.

If it provides any benefits to the citizenry, they are the meagrest benefits possible designed only to placate that citizenry, knowing full well that it continues to exist mostly by coercion and fear. When those elements are overwhelmed by rage and need, the citizenry can certainly revolt and maim or destroy it.

So, it plays a game of providing just enough to keep those volatile impulses just below the reaction line where the people are not quite willing to jeopardize what little they have.

Never make the mistake of thinking that the Federal Government exists to serve the people.

opec and china are dumping treasuries and buying stocks and commodities. They are like the drug dealers that have warehouses full of dollars and have rats eating at the pile.

For China and opec, the rat is inflation. In treasuries they are loosing money every minute.
