Despite market scandals, terrorist attacks, wars, the country's worst natural disasters, global instability, coming into office during a recession, and a fundamentally changing economy, its still rolling along with growth at 4.3%

Date: November 30th, 2005 2:14 PM Author: Cerebral Garrison Too bad this "boom" doesn't translate into most people actually making more money than before. But hey, as long as Steve Forbes' investments do well this year, that's much more important than the fortunes of ordinary people, huh? http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-pay29nov29,1,5402641.story?ctrack=1&cset=true |

Date: November 30th, 2005 2:25 PM Author: doobsian sinister den It's not our fault that you're too stupid and irresponsible to prepare for the future by investing. Anyone who owns a broad market index fund will benefit from economic growth. It's idiots like you who rely upon government handouts who run the risk of getting into financial trouble.

Date: November 30th, 2005 2:29 PM Author: doobsian sinister den What does making a fortune have to do with this? Surely you're not arguing that redistribution should aim to make everyone as wealthy as Bill Gates. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=308740&forum_id=2#4420199) |

Middle aged burger flippers are hardly normal middle class Americans to begin with, but there's no doubt that the difference between the burger flipper's financial planning under Bush is no different than it was under Clinton. |

republicans would like the rest of americans to participate as well (through social security personal accounts), but the libs won't let that happen. Thanks, Dems!!! |

Date: November 30th, 2005 2:32 PM Author: Cerebral Garrison My post was about wages, e.g. people who don't depend on government handouts, jackass. Plus total stock market indexes are lower than they were when Dubya took office, but thanks for playing. |

Date: November 30th, 2005 2:36 PM Author: titillating arrogant abode Most pundits agreed that the market was going to decline....and this was when CLinton was still president. The tech crash actually occurred while he was still in office. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=308740&forum_id=2#4420243) |
