1. Stupid question: The US economy was SHRINKING 9% a year 4 years ago!

and it is now GROWING by 2% a year.

Obama/Dems/SOMEBODY has to put together a video summary of the 2008 Crash from Sept 2008 followed by the recovery with the Bikini Graph shrinking and then expanding month by month on the bottom.

---------------------------
Since Obama took office:... The Dow has DOUBLED from 6500 to 13,000; .....GDP is Up 11% from -9% to 2%; ......28 months of Job GAINS after Bush LOSING 4 million jobs in 2008/ 800,000 jobs a month; .....record corporate profits 2010 -11.
Bin Laden is dead and GM is alive.

we were losing hundreds of thousands of jobs each month, and the DOW was under about to drop 2100 points in a month.

3. The DOW (DJIA) dropped to about 6000, it's now over 13000. I think your 2100 is S&P.

Anyhow your point is absolutely right. How can anybody even ask such a stupid question? How can "journalists" endlessly repeat it ad nauseum?

4. 2340 Point drop

9/15 DOW closed at 10917.51

2340 point drop. A little more than a 2100 points, but not much.
