(28,552 posts)... for "bringing us back from the brink" (he did NOTHING BTW, he filled his cabinet with the malefactors who brought this on us, how is that helping?) it might be the one correct perception of reality that they have.
We are not "back from the brink". The economy is still in perilous condition despite the ridiculous UE and other numbers.
Tell you what, here is a simple metric even those too lazy to understand anything can follow. As long as interest rates are held near zero, there is no recovery, period. It is not normal, natural or even desirable to have interest rates near zero. They are only there because everything is still broken.
Make ZERO mistake, this economy could fall off a cliff at any time. The games the Federal Reserve has played for 6 years with QE and interest rate manipulation cannot go on forever. And every day that these games continue, more damage is done.
