    good for the goose, good for the gander.

    It's a tough pill for you to swallow that you were in the minority of Americans. History and society is passing you buy.

    The Bush tax cuts will impact more than just the 1%. Since you didn't care to educate yourself on the issues, I feel you deserve to suffer, based on your posts in this and other threads since the election.

    Because we're all going to suffer. Hope you prepared well. Obama doesn't have to cater to any voters in term 2.

    The minority has grown since 2008. Obama had millions of votes less in 2012 than he had in 2008.

    "The Wars" are less than 15% of the debt that Obama has piled up in 4 years.

    Will we finally get a budget passed? Romney was a fucking moron for not hammering Obama on his failed efforts to pass a budget.

    julius, I was unfair to you in this thread.

    I hope you don't live in a shack. I hope you and your family are fine, and that you're set up to ride out the upcoming shitstorm

    I'm sick of this parisan bullshit, and I apologize.

    I take that back. "The Wars" are less than 8% of the debt over the last 4 years.

    What are you bitching about? Is the stock market up the last two days in your fantasy land?

    A few of us aren't even trying to make it that partisan. Its just a simple analysis of the state of the economy. Alot of it is getting "poo-poo'd" and turned into "you lost, go kick rocks" kind of attitude.

    Believe what you want to believe. No one can still show any semblance of a real recovery. Numbers are manipulated. Debt is out of control. Interest rates are at historical lows for how many years now with little gain in the housing market?

    The worst part of not paying attention to this all is a false sense of security. Bubbles are inflating again.

    Denial of what? Is the market actually roaring the last two days? Perhaps you're in denial.

    Seriously, what's with the trolling? Do you understand how business views the policies of the Obama Administration? Why do you think they've been sitting on so much cash? They've been fearing the additional taxes his re-election would bring. Now it's come to pass and the taxes will be a reality. Those increased taxes drives down the values of the companies, thereby devaluing their stock price.

    But Obama recklessly spent the $244B repaid, instead of returning it to the treasury.

    This is the Bill that spent the money:

    Haha. For those that are more intelligent than you, what you described is entirely possible with respect to the stock market. Oh right... you're a sucker that was told to buy and hold forever.

    You think we who have employees want to fire people? If an employee can be a positive alpha proposition, I'll hire as many as I can. However, it's not the case. We're forecasting declining or flat revenues and concomitant increasing employee costs. What are we supposed to do? Take it in the shorts to help President Obama? That's North Korean thinking.
