Dow Industrial Cracks All-Time Closing High: Thank you, Mr. President

[Old School]

Mr. President,

Today is a great day. Today, America has shown the world once again that it is the will of free markets that makes this country great, and not the defunct policies of entitlements. Knowing that some will say that inflation must be considered, and knowing that some feel that you are manipulating the numbers for the benefit of Novembers elections, I say to you sir, "thank you".

I am looking forward to more great news in the coming months. God bless!

Kindest Regards,
Old School
An Average American

A great day, indeed, OS...I just moved all my mutual funds out of stocks and into money markets, to protect my gains from the inevitable long, deep decline a'comin from this out-of-control deficit spending, crushing public debt, our inability to respond to real foreign threats while we're pinned down in Iraq, plummeting foreign investment, nosediving global competitiveness, and the gommint's refusal to do anything serious to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. You can't 'time' the market any better than you can time a train with an unpublished schedule, but you can sure as hell tell when there's a rockslide blocking the tracks up ahead. Thanks indeed for the blip, Shrub.

It must be nice on your planet, OS....

You'd think so, wouldn't you? But actually, my planet has really sucked since Jan. 20th, 2001. Anyway, the pay is good.

Probably a lot. I think the DHS (or whoever at the time) was looking into the SEC for suspicious trading just before 9/11 -- to look for terrorists who knew it was going to happen.

Anyone remember DARPAs plan to have online gambling/betting parlor on when the next attack would be? Sounds like a way to find dumb terrorists who "happen" to win the bets... clever DARPA idea but floated like a lead balloon, causing Admiral Poindexter his job as head.

All of that and more people own homes than ever before. If having roofs over Americans heads is what this leads to then keep spendin!

The Democrats are just mad because they know that the stock market growth during Clinton was a bubble. They cant face the fact that the stock market growth under Bush has been good ole fashioned reality.
