		<description>36 Mary.

I keep a spreadsheet of the percentage increase in the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&amp;P 500 on the first day of the month - going back to 1966.  Using absolute values, it is &quot;fun&quot; to compare the 2-term presidents.  Basically the 2-term presidents in this period had a demonstrated rise by the end of their first term and a good market in their second term.  Guess who the one exception is.

I also keep a graph of the market corrected by the rise in the Consumer Price Index (as a measure of inflation).  When you do this, Bush II really looks bad.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Paul W Says:

“We’ve never been more dominant; we’ve never had more natural advantages than we have today,” he said. “We have benefited greatly” from the globalization of the economy in the last 30 years.

Nobody’s denying that the already wealthy aren’t doing well. The income gap is as great as it’s ever been. Is Gramm really that stupid, or is it just blinded by greed that he can’t see that unemployment, high food, fuel and healthcare costs are hurting working Americans.

And on the subject of stupid, how stupid does McCain have to be to listen to this moron.

http://progressiveworldreview.com&lt;/em&gt;

Phil Gramm just doesn&#039;t care. If he could, he&#039;d return to the days before those silly regulations really &quot;oppressed&quot; his poor, downtrodden class.</description>

		<description>Phil Gramm is using his firm psychopathically understanding of the economy to foster socialism and corporatism - look at the legislation he currently lobbies for and used to vote for.

Phil Gramm knows that we are not just whiners. He knows the United States  currency is backed by nothing but the citizen&#039;s FAITH that their dollar&#039;s are worth something. I think he is just doing some sick and twisted reverse psychology shenanigans to somehow put faith back into the value of the dollar - or even more perverted - he DOES want our faith to fade to further tank the dollar... I would love to ask him.

The whole principle and function of money has been switched from an evidence of wealth to an evidence of debt. Why? because we as a country do not follow Article 1 Section 10 of the United States Constitution which demands gold and silver coin to be legal tender (crazy isn&#039;t it?). Instead we have allowed, and continue to allow, the Federal Reserve, a paper corporation, to control the flow of money; making it tight and creating unemployment or printing more and creating inflation. The Fed&#039;s power to create dollars out of thin air and loan it into circulation as debt against future production is the source of the inflationary depression that is coming to be. O how I wish for the days when citizens can turn their gold and silver into money, which increases the money supply as a wealth to the people, and exchange into circulation as production performed (crazy isn&#039;t it?).</description>

		<description>Hey, since when did the GOP think &quot;Crotchety Old Men&quot; would be an appropriate campaign theme in today&#039;s world?

These two certainly aren&#039;t Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon...in any way, shape or comedic form.  Maybe if you put McCain and Gramm on a sinking ship...wait!!!</description>

		<description>I did kind of like this line, though, from that NYT article:

&quot;One former Bush aide who spends his days publicly bashing Barack Obama sat down for lunch with me recently and before the appetizers even arrived lamented that the Democrat will probably crush McCain. He ruefully called Obama one of the three most talented political figures of his lifetime, along with John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.&quot;</description>

		<description>MapleStreet - I read a good article in the NYT called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/31/magazine/31bush-t.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;The Final Days&quot;&lt;/a&gt; in which this line caught my attention:

&quot;Yet there are no valedictory days for Bush. For years, he got no credit for a long-running economic recovery, in part because of popular anger over Iraq. Now, it seems, he gets no credit for the improvements in Iraq because of deep discontent over the tattered economy.&quot;

What in Iraq&#039;s name did I miss?!  What freakin&#039; economic recovery?</description>

		<description>Oil had dropped another $5.24 to $110.22! Oil hasn&#039;t been this cheap since April 8, when it closed at $ 108.50! All the while dropping, even with a hurricane hitting La.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Maybe McCain’s wealthy supporters aren’t whining because they’re set to receive millions in tax cuts under the senator’s plans.&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>28 Mary - Don&#039;t you just love the Republican economic boon.  Look at houses, stocks etc.

The folks in the front buy it and then send announcements all over the place on how valuable it is.  Other folk want to get in on the deal, so they buy in.

The price naturally rises.  


The originals have made their money and cash out;  though they often migrate to making money by showing you how you can get in on the deal.  Meanwhile, so many other folks are getting in so that there isn&#039;t enough of a market for their product.  The price breaks, and the newbies are left holding the bag.

See Housing Bubble.  See Pump-n-dump stocks.  see any number of infomercials.</description>

<p>The folks in the front buy it and then send announcements all over the place on how valuable it is.  Other folk want to get in on the deal, so they buy in.</p>
<p>The price naturally rises.  </p>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;running_man Says:
If you believe that the republicans are these crooks who have broken the law and are illegally creating huge monopolies to control prices. What makes the Democrat’s any different? They are playing the same game as the republicans. Just marketing it in a different way and you have fallen for it. Naive little hippies!&lt;/em&gt;

And you are an ignorant troll.  The Democrats are quite a bit different than the Republicans, but not enough for most of us.  We are working to take back our government from you and your ilk.  Too bad so sad.  Your day is over.</description>

		<description>&quot;If you’re sitting here today, you’re not economically illiterate and you’re not a whiner, so I’m not worried about who you’re going to vote for.&quot;

I wonder if Daryll was there to hear this because some of you may recall the brilliant investment advice he gave me - oil, oil, oil he said I should invest in, so I can be rich like him.  Problem is the price of oil has gone down ever since he said that.  I suppose if I was one of those speculators betting that the price would go down I could have made out like a bandit!</description>

		<description>Marie @14, re Tucker Eskew, this quote is from an ABCnews blog concerning his hiring by McCain:
 
&quot;This gives Democrats an opening to revisit Eskews criticism of McCain from 2000. His involvement as one of the Keating Five is pertinent information for voters in 2008.&quot;

		<description>Gawd, these people just don&#039;t know when to keep their mouth&#039;s shut.  Why Graham thinks it&#039;s a good idea to continue to consult 90% of the people in this country is beyond me.</description>
