So, curtailing the growth of entitlement spending is not messing with entitlement spending? Who knew? I guess that makes perfect sense to the dying sparks of sputtering synapses inside your head.

It is pretty telling that as soon as the community organizer disappeared the economy took off. The only way around it is somewhere in the cloud of the lefty mind.

The economy has been doing quite well since Obama inherited the Republican caused meltdown. It has finally fully recovered, thanks to Obama era regulations on Wall Street causing a restoration of trust.

If that trigger is Donny going to the Pen, I’ll happily take it.

You remind me of the Obama voter who called in to the radio talk show complaining about where they put the deer crossing sign, saying there were safer places to have the deer cross.

Forever. But, when I started investing in stocks the DOW was under 2000 .

I have been through three crashes. Didn't do anything but ride it out.

Absolutely no doubt that it will crash again. And, I will ride it out again.

And, all the morons will be saying it's not coming back this time. Just like they always do.

Then, like me, you’ve done very well, especially through the Obama years. Index funds. Retirement coming soon, will have way more income than I spend now. Lots more travel to Europe and South America ahead, while I’m still able. It’s a big world, plenty more cultures to experience, enjoy and learn from, for those capable of learning.

Like I did in 2009 when nearly every dumbass Republican in my life was jerking their money out because the "Kenyan Soshialist" was going to "utterly destroy America". As usual, they were panicked, irrational and wrong.
