When stocks cost $50 and their dividends are $1, that's a 2% rate of return. The 50 to 1 P/E ratio is nutz cuz investors can make more money doing almost anything else, and it illuminates how bubbles are the real business of Wall Street and the Feds. But if folks abandoned Wall Street, and started collecting Pepsi cans, Obama would count them as employed and run a victory lap around Hillarys ass, hips, and belly.

Do you think he could run that far? :rolleyes:
 
How can you measure the value of knowing that company books are sounder than they were before? Of no more overnight bankruptcies with the employees and retirees left holding the bag? No more disruption to entire sectors of the economy?

It will take the next economic crisis, as certainly it will come, to determine whether or not the provisions of this bill will actually provide this generation or the next generation of regulators with the tools necessary to minimize the effects of that crisis.

"In the early part of the 20th century our politicians promoted the notion that the tax and monetary systems had to change if we were to involve ourselves in excessive domestic and military spending. That is why Congress gave us the Federal Reserve and the income tax. The majority of Americans and many government officials agreed that sacrificing some liberty was necessary to carry out what some claimed to be “progressive” ideas. They failed to recognized that what they were doing was exactly opposite of what the colonists were seeking when they broke away from the British.

We Need an Intellectual Awakening. Without an intellectual awakening, the turning point will be driven by economic law. A dollar crisis will bring the current out-of-control system to its knees."

Jeb Bush is going to be running as the Wall Street candidate. He's going to get them their cheap labor...

I hope you're not so foolish as to think there will be no more recessions after this Obama one ends. It would be the first time in history such a thing happened. :eek:
