[concerned about politics]

Most people can't stand politicians, so they turn away from politics. They have no idea what's happening in Washington, nor do they care. BUT.....when their money is gone or their family is in danger, they know it. That's what gets them to the polls (and they do not like liberalism).

[ARCADIA]

The DJIA as today at 10931.62, we are only just under 100 points from topping 11 Thousand.

The Dow is not the economy, nor is 11,000 anything to brag about when you factor in the currency valuation. You are talking about a net average 10% gain over 6 long years.
