I am pissed about the performance of the stock market in the 7+ years since our "MBA President" took over. Like many people, I am trying very hard to save for retirement, doing what all the financial people say to do, to invest in fairly conservative mutual funds, etc. and I am SICK of how many months during this moronic and corrupt regime that my funds have lost more money than I have put in that same month! There have been so many of these months since 2000 that many of us are going to have to postpone retirement if we can, to save money to make up for the losses. I am sure the same thing can be said for people saving to buy a house or put their kids through college.

WHERE did people ever get the notion that Republicans manage the economy better than do Democrats? Or that they manage companies (like mortgage lenders) more effectively? And did it ever occur to any of these Rethug supporters that if we had more effective enforcement of laws, we wouldn't have so many meltdowns in various sectors due to scandals, safety issues, unethical lending practices, etc.?

The stock market has been way too volatile (or declining) for probably half of this idiot's reign, and there is no end in sight. It's just another reason to get him the hell out of there, and the party he rode in on.
