Okay, Fox news is saying that the dow is at it's highest in 5 years. And it is... But notice that they're comparing bush to himself?
Dig this chart. Notice that both the Dow and the Nasdaq spiked about 2 days before his inaguration and plummeted until we went to war? There's a name for what comes next: depression. After we get out of any war, the economy shoots down below pre-war levels. So, the real issue is that the unbridaled prosperity we saw in the Clinton years (without a war), not only has ended, even reversed, but is doomed to be totally erased by the post war gloom.
Everybody, thank Mr president for putting the country in it's biggest fiancial crisis .... ever.
