Nasdaq breaks 2000, DOW continues to climb

[heartsurgeon]

yippie!

You think the increase might be caused by dmcowen674 buying shares of Wal-Mart?

 

[heartsurgeon]

the absolute certainty that Dean is going to suffer an embarrassing defeat...

for all you kids out their,

1984 Presidential election results:
Ronald Reagan (also called a buffoon, stupid, lackey of business, tax cutter extraordinare by liberals) - 525 electoral college votes (49/50 states vote Reagan)
Walter Mondale (Former Vice president, attorney, tax lovin' old school Minnesota liberal) - 13 electoral college votes (Minn. and D.C. voted for him)
highly embarrassing link for liberals

Vermont only has 3 electoral college votes....Dean could surpass Mondale's career defining moment.

If you are going to post something, at least say something more than "Yippie". Almost as annoying those "copy and paste" posts.

Starting to get annoying to hear the same thing over and over? Turnabout is fairplay, homie.

Link?

Does that mean it's all down hill from here to a prosperous recovery?
How about jobs? How well are they being paid?

Will the large corps hire americans or simply foreigners to reduce bottom line?

Who's buying? Insiders/officers or just mom and pop w/o a clue?

Since I don't invest in the stock market, other than what I'm forced to do though benefical tax legislation and a 10% match which favors big business, I build homes with my surplus. Hows the intrest rate going to hold? Very important from my persective.

Since demand is the driver I think these are important questions for the american economy.

Sure if your vested heavily I guess it's great news.

LA Times
Jobless Count Skips Millions
The rate hits 9.7% when the underemployed and those who have quit looking are added.

Looks to me as the economy is as schizo as the country is politically. High unemployment, budget and trade deficits continue to dog the otherwise booming economy.

 

[DealMonkey]

I blame the liberals!

 

[jhu]

why do we still have the electoral vote? walter mondale didn't do that bad: 40% of those who voted voted for him. but he didn't carry a state other than minnesota. that doesn't really make any sense.

Very interesting. That helps explain why the official numbers don't match the stories we hear from family and friends.

 

[heartsurgeon]

walter mondale didn't do that bad

HAHAHAHAHA...if losing in 49/50 states isn't "that bad" please tell me what is?

Link?

just turn on the evening news tonight.

yippie is a "positive" expression of joy.
only a liberal could find fault with someone who takes joy in the stock market going up.
i believe most liberals who post on this forum would prefer the stock market to be going down.

why anyone would want our capital markets to do poorly, or take joy in that, baffles me.

 

[jhu]

like i said, the electoral vote skews things pretty badly. in other elections, a 40% popular vote would have gotten several states and probably more than 100 electoral votes.

well that didn't happen, did it.

HAHAHAHAHA yep, it did that for Mondale, and it's gonna do it for Dean as well....

Only if you are naive enough to believe that states like CA or NY will vote for Bush. Dean will have no problem getting plenty electoral votes.

You make it patently obvious you're really not interested in discussion buy putting words in my posts which was'nt there. Fail to address any issue. And Continue your reactionary rehtoric.

Your boring and dogmatic. sorry I asked.

 

[jhu]

HAHAHAHAHA yep, it did that for Mondale, and it's gonna do it for Dean as well....

i don't really see bush even coming close to winning california. that should add 50+ electoral votes right there.

 

[heartsurgeon]

i agree that new york is problematic - however, it is unclear how the events of 9/11 will playout with the City crowd. Upstate is mostly Republican turf. if the city folk think Dean is going to get New York City attacked again, they may not support him...probably wishful thinking on my part.

california is another matter..much closer vote than new york in 2000, now Arnold is Gov., i would say the state is in play right now, and anything could happen.

time will tell, and much crow will be eaten (by someone!, no telling who!)

I don't see Bush winning any states but southern especially florida, which his brother will rig again by excluding blacks from voting and maybe a couple mountain states.

It's the economy stupid. But this time we have a war and all it's uncertainties in addition to DEAN will actually raise the cash to compete unlike most dems can do. I see all the Reagan dems/and blue collar going DEAN.

Bush will be dead if Dean turns right, and spouts cheap slogans like "less governemnt" which Bush has expanded to unpresedented levels.

 

[heartsurgeon]

excluding blacks

is that a acceptable term these days?

you might want to check out this analysis of the upcoming 2004 presidential race...

i don't know who these folks are (libs or conservatives)
i don't know their methodology
the analysis is probably completely flawed

but i must say i like the look of things....

linky

Bush will be dead if Dean turns right, and spouts cheap slogans like "less governemnt" which Bush has expanded to unpresedented levels.

a contortionist move by Dean to the "right" as you say, will be perfect...he will alienate his own base, and he's said enough wacky stuff to turn off the center already.

 

[Zebo]

Well HS, Bush aint so bad. Hell I work for one of those big evil corporations.. governement funded..increased by 14 Billion this year..and have since I've worked and they pay pretty damn well for very little work dispite how much I hate their strangle-hold on the economy. Much better than when my wife used to work at a liberal catholic hospital.

Remeber Bush is a liberal...so says cato So I win either way

Here's what your Economist's are saying:

Many economists are mystified about why a suddenly booming economy is producing so few jobs.

"More than half of the additional people who would have reported themselves as unemployed in a previous big recessionary period aren't," a puzzled UC Berkeley economist, Brad DeLong, wrote on his website.

In some eyes, a nation of burger flippers, temps and Wal-Mart clerks isn't the worst scenario for the economy.

I don't see where this "puzzled economist" made about knowing that jobs lag expansion. She seems kind of confused by the idea but maybe she skipped that class too many times.
Hehe - maybe people haven't "reported themselves as unemployed" because they aren't unemployed? The recession was quite mild compared to others so maybe that's why the doom and gloomers are confused and puzzled.
