Subject: Market tanking - thanks to dem congress!

What the heck is going on in the stock market?!  I don't follow the market that closely but I've noticed my 401k has lost about 30k recently....and the only thing I can think to blame it on is Nancy Pelosi and the new democrat congress!

You're probably kidding, but it's interesting. When the market skyrocketed during the Clinton presidency and then tanked after GWB was elected, the right said you couldn't blame or take credit for market decreases or increases based on who was in office at the time. The market's too complex, they said.

So now it goes down and it's the dems fault? Please. And you guys call us the waffelers.

Go ahead, get all of the liberals on the board wound up!!

After all, you're just a nasty consevative. How dare you have to nerve to have enough money to lose 30k! Don't you know those of us (conservatives) who have money should feel guilty about it and give it all away to social programs? Sounds like you should be paying more taxes, if you have that amount of money.

It's Bush's fault somehow, I'm sure. It won't take long for the liberals to let us know how so, I'm sure.

I'm torn over what's more amusing:

Mike's obviously inflammatory thread title and post;

The fact that Jim replied so quickly to it.

Where's possum?

I think it's Ann Coulter's Fault.  And since she is the ONLY voice of the Republicans and EVERY conservative, she should be made to pay Mike $30K that he's lost. (minus any tax savings when he claims the loss on his taxes of course)

Yes because it would be better if she was barefoot and pregnant and leaving the work to the men, right? Damn uppity women

The dem congress is more focused on trying to figure out how the GOP congress condoned Walter Reed issues.  Little things like having service men sign away their ongoing medical coverage before they get discharged.

You guys crack me up! The title of this thread was meant to be satirical.

 

I was taking a page from the DNC playbook and blaming someone for my loss in the market. Shirley it must be SOMEONE'S fault - not my fault, not a market correction….someone has to take the blame…so it might as well be congress! Remember when the gas prices skyrocketed and everyone was blaming GWB as if he has called "big oil" and told them crank the price up?

 

Anyway, it was just a little humor get the day started. :-)

And appointing congressmen who keep $90,000.00 in cash in their deep freeze to important chairmenships because "he's not been charged yet".

In my neck of the woods the only thing I keep in my deep freeze is last year's corn and okra, some t-bones and occasionally the body of someone I've not gotten around to burying yet….but I never put cash in the deep freeze!

Who's Shirley and what's she got to do with anything? I thought you were blaming Nancy.

In fairness, the deep freeze is currently outperforming the market.

Scouty, i am right here   But I I am bored of this, and belive it or not, I have no opinion as I know very little about how the stock market operates. that's why I have a brother on Wall Street and a father who is obsessed, because my small female mind only does numbers as they pertain to my recipes....

Of course, it COULD be that the market generally moves in 5-year cycles and PERHAPS we are just entering the next downward part of the cycle.  Of course in a political discussion I’m sure there is no room for a logical answer.  It’s got to be someone’s fault.  POINT FINGERS!!  POINT FINGERS!!!!

Wear your bathing suit, get some boots, take a swim cap and cut out some eye holes and draw lightning bolts on it.....This could work.......

I thought you were kidding to begin with... but sometimes using the sarcasm font helps.  

 

I wish I was joking about the market tanking and losing the money. The only 'joke' was blaming the democrats….and we all know the democratic congress is a joke. Uh…I mean….uh…well, you know.
