I figured if it were the other way around what would n8 do? I'll admit I kind of felt a little dirty doing it.

The economy was bumping right up until Jun 2007. However, at that point the writing was on the wall. I will give N8 props where due, he helped stoke the bubble while it was climbing.
Now if his articles were dated at or near June 2007, they were sorely mistaken.

That being said, we still have about 2k to drop in the Dow (imho), so if he's stoking it, he's full of it.

Since 2006 when the US had a Democratic Congress the following has happened:

1) Consumer confidence has plummeted
2) Gasoline at $4+ a gallon
3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase)
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping
5) 1.8% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) The DOW in the crapper and $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM OUR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!

Let me clarify:

Cite specific examples where this can be attributed to the Democratic congress, and not the failings of the administration or a de-regulated financial system.


Go for it. Educate us.

derrr... from 8th grade Civics...

...the president doesn't have the authority to pass laws regarding the economy or anything else, for that matter. It is the responsibility of the Congress to propose and adopt such laws. It is the responsibility of the president only to approve or veto any congressional legislation.

So which "law" was it that suspended the up-tick rule back in 2007? Cut interest rates? Instituted mark-to-market accounting? Bailed out Bear but not LEH? :monkey:

In a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders.

The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets -- including the New York metropolitan region -- will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans. Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a nationwide program by next spring


etc...

I'm making fun of Nate's logic, he is saying that since the Dems took control of the Congress, the economy started going downhill, therefore the Dems caused the economic downturn
 
Can we start the revolution now so I don't have to read whinny comments from both sides.
Super wealthy bankers are turning us into slaves and yet you bicker back and forth like little girls..NO, sheep is more like it.

F-dems, F-republicans and f-U globalist.

N8 can't even get a " kicked in the nuts " picture right.

There is no shadow under the older Asian gentleman.
It appears that he is simply sleeping, as if on a bus or park bench.
He also has a lower resolution or less focus than the guy doing the kicking.
The leg that is thrown has a blur added to it that poorly disguises the incompatibility of the two images being used.
The man being kicked is actually too far to the kickers right side. This would imply that the kicker can move his hips out of sink with his shoulders in an unnatural way.
Anyone who knows the slightest bit about self-defense knows to never directly face your opponent or open your arms up exposing your mid section while kicking someone.

So like many of N8's posts, this photo is a total fabrication and a misrepresentation of the truth.
