The Dow/Gold Chart is a much more important indicator than the dow/ppi and it is telling a much different story

Why do you think it is a much more important indicator? Is this the basis on which you have based your predictions?

i'm predicting there will be a shortage of beer late tonight at your house.

Another prediction worthy of betting the house on.

That's funny. The beer's on ice here, too. Almost like a conspiracy.

No, Danno. What the economy has done over the last 5 years already beats what the economy has done over the entire two terms of the last President. The DJIA has actually reached a new high - adjusted for inflation. That's the first time that happened in 14 years. So we're no longer treading water but actually start gaining. Something Obama's predecessor never achieved. Ever.

What I marvel at is the passion at which you defend this administration... and the indifference you have for the millions who are hurting because of it.

One thing we can see we have a lot more of under Obama... people without real jobs and real hope.

People unemployed since 2008.

Obama didn't take office until January 2009. It looks like your chart shows that the unemployment rate has gone down since Obama took office.

Your chart is lacking recent data. The unemployment rate is currently at 7%. Not great but certainly better than where it was when the administration took over. If Congress had enacted any jobs measures over the past few years, we'd be looking a lot better. But instead they did nothing. Not the least because the House majority felt it more important to make Obama look bad than to do what's right for the country.

No, I think you are wrong again, that chart looks at Non GVT unemployment.

The chart does not even show us those who dropped out of the work force or who are now working at half their former wage.

We see the stock market doing well..... is that more of the "Rich getting richer?"

[Danno 1,228]

Lets consider the hungry in this country.

Is this what a thriving economy looks like?

Bear in mind Obama waltz in office in 2009.

I made out like a fat ####### on Obama care,and my 401k has gone up about 35K this year. I held a temp job with a company that exploits loopholes in the law to work people 14 hour days with no OT.
