In regard to AOK in LA comment: If you have dabbled in the stock market and done any real research in its history (which is necessary to have any success)you will have found that his comment is completely true. This is not wishful thinking or party line, it is just fact.

We think that the slight upswing in the stockmarket is just slight & temporary; unfortunately, as we all know, what goes up has to come down and the admin is on the path to economic ruin w/the spending!

I am an independent so not for any one party. Been some comments on this site but I would like to point out a couple of points. The crash of the sub-prime mortgages were a result of the effect that was started by Carter and then really pushed by Clintons. The American Dream and the greedy financial institutions. Clinton advisors are now back into positions to make further inroads into our pockets. Bush in early 2000 - 02 tried to pull May and Mac back by restoring old regulations. Defeated by congress. Media in 09 has not picked on the AP analysis that was in some newspapers. Wonder why. Do ur research and just dont regurgitate the party line. car

The current bunch got into office by targeting the uninformed voters. Many were expecting a free ride in some form or another. There is no such thing as a free lunch. If you did not pay for it someone else did. I have to agree, "Wake the H--- Up America, we are losing our freedoms little by little."

Do you remember the late 1970’s when the president capped the price on gasoline causing rationing, long lines at gas stations, and odd even days of service depending upon your license plate number? Remember the interest rates at 21%? Remember the malaise and the president telling us that the best days of America were behind us and that we needed to lower our expectations and expect to do with less in the future? Remember in the early 1980’s when a new president told us that America’s best days were ahead of us? Remember the tax cuts he provided for businesses and the end of gas rationing? Remember the president demanding from a hostile congress that they limit their spending? Remember the interest rates going down in the 1980’s, the economy rebounding and the great days? Do you think the current president’s plan to recover our economy by increasing taxes on businesses, spending trillions of dollars in a new budget and hundreds of billions of dollars for an economy stimulus will succeed in helping the economy? Do you think his nationalizing the auto industry and demanding that Detroit build cars that no one will buy will succeed in helping the economy? Do you think that continuing to send billions of petro dollars a year to South America and the Middle East instead of developing the native oil fields in our country and keeping those petro dollars and jobs in America will help stimulate the economy? Do you think that taking our health care out of private businesses and nationalizing it will stimulate our economy?

There is a book called "The 10 Greatest Lies about America". Thoroughly researched. The information is in there. It has a lot of history in it and separates fact from perception or what people have come to believe over decades, that in many cases, is wrong. The book can be had at Amazon.com

AOK - where did you get that information? Sounds a little made up to me.

The United States has gone through about 15 recessions/depressions with the first in 1815. From each recovery, the nation was stronger. History shows that whenever the government spent money, the downturn lasted longer and whenever the government cut spending and taxes the downturn did not last as long. Therefore since history repeats itself, this government is spending money -- this downturn will be here a good long while
