Interestingly, Cramer showed a 2009 stock market chart. The major upticks corresponded to periods where an Obama policy was defeated.

Conservatives need to state that the economy has improved because it appears that ObamaCare, Cap&Trade, and tax increases are being contained by conservative members of Congress – both R’s and D’s.

huh?

I disagree, but at least it’s a logical argument.

I definitely agree that the expiration of the tax cuts will retard growth, and that that other liberal policies could cause economic decline. These are the discussions that we need to have.

But conservatives better stop their “sky is falling” routine. Because they’ll be in trouble if it becomes obvious that the sky isn’t falling.

You don’t know much history, do you. Idiotic government programs in the 1930s deepened and extended a depression into the Great Depression that lasted for more than 8 years! Obama is planning even more idiotic and destructive policies and programs than Roosevelt!

I’m very familiar with history.

Please explain how today’s situation is different than the 1930s. Certainly you don’t think the situation are exactly identical. Do you? Please tell me you don’t. Please give me some indication that you think the two situations aren’t the exact same.

Idiotic government programs in the 1930s deepened and extended a depression into the Great Depression that lasted for more than 8 years!

Deepened the depression? So why did GDP go up every year from 1934 (except one small drop in 1938)?

Feel free to argue that the government programs stunted the rate of recovery, but they did not “deepen” anything. Do you even understand what the word “deepened” and “extended” and for that matter, “depression” mean?

Cap and Trade passed the House.

And?

Some idiotic form of ObamaCare is very likely to pass.

Very likely?

The Bush tax cuts automatically expire.

Yes, this is bad. Your first (and only) good point.

You really do live in an alternate universe…

Why do you state this? Because I don’t think it’s too late to defeat Cap & Trade and ObamaCare?

And ONE quarter of possible GDP growth is gonna convince everyone of this?

I think it will.

Economies are cyclical. You know that a bottom of a sine wave has occurred when it starts to rise.

Michelle is smarter than you

She might be. If she is, then I think she might understand this. But not every smart person understands everything that’s presented to them.

[Michelle] is NOT jumping on the “Corkie-nomics” bandwagon.

She hasn’t so far, but she might. You certainly don’t know if she will or won’t.

Wow! You must be on the National Council of Economic Advisors! I didn’t see your name on the list of members.

I am certain Michelle is smarter than you and is NOT jumping on the “Corkie-nomics” bandwagon. But I will keep my eyes open for your joint appearance on Fox.
