but note it reminds people just how good it was for everyone back in the Bill Clinton era.
and then how bad it was in the Reagan/41/W era
(something to remember in Nov. 2016 when Jeb will be up against Hillary45.)


But, to say the market going up is not a good thing, is just well, so silly and wrong.

Would it be better for the market to crash again and everyone goes to the bottom,
just to exact some sort of revenge on an unspecified group of people?
The other man's grass is always greener, and as there will always be someone with more,
it's a silly waste of time to care what someone else makes.
Money can't buy love or happiness, nor can it buy health.
Ask Steve Jobs.

and burning down an entire group, does not in any shape or form lead to bringing up
any other group. All it does is create a gladiator in the arena revenge thing.

again, the graph shows how througout the years, the Reagan/Bush/Bush method failed society, and the Clinton/Obama/and Clinton to be betters society.

imho after analyzing the raw stats
