It's doing well, no question, but is the stock market really indicitive of the economy as a whole? What good is a high stock market if people aren't working?

Because when peoples' stock portfolios go up, they feel richer and spend more, which creates more jobs. It worked great in the late 90's until the stock market bubble collapsed. It seems like that cycle is beginning to repeat itself.
These sort of boom/bust cycles transcend whoever happens to be in office at the moment.

One thing I didn't see were figures for those who decided to the the boss where to "stick it" and be their own boss! You don't have to work FOR someone if you don't want to.......GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Don't have a job? Create one.
We have a number of people in our society that will wait till that last bit of UP is filed for before they will change occupations or get a different job.
The answer is in us and not a political party.
