Ok. The Dow was 8,279 on Obama’s inauguration day. From that day on, Obama held the reigns, he owns it. So, the dow has improved approx 1100. The fact remains, for all the spending we've seen from Obama (which was all supposed to help the economy) we've only seen a small improvement in the market and no improvement in jobs creation (and a reduction in 2nd quarter GDP). But the price we paid was immense.
If the 800 billion dollar stimulus and all the excessive billions for bailouts and budgets were going to get us back to 2007 prosperity, maybe...maybe that would have been worth it in the long term. Certainly not the small improvement we've seen. We are talking about this money like its monopoly money, like its not real. Politicians are not respecting our tax dollars. The headlines should be covered with cries to reduce spending and programs...not from our media these days...
