Reply #12: The economy is improving, and will despite GOP efforts, continue to do so ...

Private sector job growth will continue to improve, just as it has for months now.

GDP will continue to be positive.

Unemployment will continue to decline. Notice on this one that the unemployment rate was ~8.7% when the stimulus passed, it rose to 10.2%, and has now turned around and is heading back down. It should drop to 8.7 or less by the summer.

Of course the change in the DOW, from 7500 to ~120000 makes some on DU scream. But the collapse of the DOW was probably the single largest visible sign of the economic collapse. The DOW will likely be above 11k by the general elections, or higher.

DADT, DOMA ...

The positive impact of HCR will be even more obvious.

In 2012, the "change" will continue to be on the march.
