Nobody can make money in our economy anymore, with Obama promising to raise taxes on capital gains, income and energy.


Study: Dow's Decline Is Fastest for a New President in Nearly a Century

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen 20 percent since President Obama took the oath of office.



The Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen faster under President Obama than under any new president in at least 90 years, according to a review conducted by Bloomberg.

Bloomberg reports that since Inauguration Day, the Dow has fallen 20 percent, leading at least one investor to dub this the "Obama bear market." The Dow has also dropped 31 percent since Election Day.

Despite a string of government bailout offers and Obama's advice earlier this week that Americans should be buying stock while shares are low, the Dow has continued to freefall.

Bloomberg reported that Obama is at risk of breaking a historical trend -- in which the Dow soars an average of close to 10 percent in the first year after a Democrat wins the presidency.

About 50% of workers have 401k retirement plans. These people are very concerned that their retirement is shrinking daily.

Yet the face of the Dem party dismisses the Dow as a daily tracking poll. Which party is out of touch again?

you seem to suggest that the dropping dow as the sole irrefutable measure of the failure of the Obama presidency. Do you similarly consider a rising dow to be the sole irrefutable measure of a presidency's success?

Right now stocks are very cheap, and the Dow will have a rally soon enough. But the fact is, since Obama won the election the Dow is about 3,500 points lower

Calm down and watch your BP. The Dow will gain some of its losses back - stocks are cheap and some are a great buy

That has nothing to do with Obama's tax and spend policies. There is alot of fear in his economic plans

Not everyone is like you and want to see America turned into welfare nanny state

You are a hopeless Dem hack

It's obvious that liberals are freaking out because their Messiah was supposed to set foot in the White House, wave his hand and heal the nation with the magic of unchecked leftist agenda.

The reality is things are getting worse and we're not being told half the bad news.

The USA is on track to lose 8 Million jobs this year. 600,000 jobs per month are gone. Obama claims he can fix that. He can't. So the next best thing is to control the media so he can deflect the blame to people like Rush

Higher taxes and deficits will fund government spending which will fuel economic activity.

Conservatives created the unemployment. You'll have to explain that.

How does taking money away from people and then giving it to people who produce nothing fuel economic activity?

You want economic activity? Give people their money and create incentives to do economic activity. dont give people money to do nothing because thats contrary to economic activity.

It allows them to buy things from people which creates economic activity.

field a slate of candidates that can win seats in congress....get the majority, and then you can do it YOUR way!:poke:

It's called marginal propensity to consume.

The poor spend more of each marginal dollar than do the affluent. That is, taking a dollar of income from the affluent and giving it to the poor to spend is likely to result in $1.00 in spending rather than $0.20 of spending. Consumer spending drives the American economy so funding consumer spending at the highest possible level is important, especially in a recession.

How will higher taxes help the economy and the Dow stocks? Ronald Reagan was a socialist who raised taxes seven times more often than he lowered them. His seven tax increases, starting in 1982, led us out of a recession and into 84 months of continuous economic expansion.
