    Or living in their parents basement and sucking off of someone.

    Then there's the underground economy. Illegal aliens usually fall into this category.

    Even though we've seen company earnings more than double between 2009 and 2014, there has been concern that the market rally has largely been driven by so-called easy money the Fed supplied through its bond-buying program, or quantitative easing.

    The above quote is from the Business Insider. The government poured trillions into the stock market. Look around, there are facts out there.

    You said obama personally pumped the money. Obama doesn't control what the fed does. So if one can't understand the points being discussed, why should I discuss them?

    And, when the economy hums along at a fast pace, the fed will pull money out of it via higher interest rates and other means.
    Been doing such a thing since Nixon took us off the gold standard.

    Had the fed not done that and other measures to stimulate the economy, we may have gone into a depression similar to the 1930s.
    We have been slowly growing instead of a complete meltdown.
    The housing bubble bust was huge and worldwide.

    Can you name one executive branch of the federal government that hasn't been politicized under the Obama administration ?

    I didn't think so.

    The Obama economy closed out with a low 4.7% unemployment rate.
    In December, his final full month in office, the U.S. economy added a slightly disappointing 156,000 jobs. It marked the 75th consecutive month of job gains, the best on record. For all of 2016, the U.S. added over 2 million new jobs.
    "Today was a positive close to the eight years of the Obama administration," says Andrew Chamberlain, chief economist at career website Glassdoor.

    A record number of months of job growth.

    The IRS targeting the Tea Party.

    The DOJ allowing guns to cross the border to arm the Mexican drug cartels.

    The Attorney General meeting with Bill Clinton on the tarmac.

    The DHS transporting illegal aliens at the tax payers expense to finish the crime for the cartels getting illegal aliens to their final destination.

    Officers in the military under The Office of Diversity Management and Equal Opportunity (ODMEO) in layman terms are nothing more than Obama's political officers.

    Under Obama every executive branch of government now has it's own SWATT, it's own federal police. Including the Departments of Health and Human Services, Education, Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture, Education, etc. etc.

    Why does the Burial of Land Management (BLM) need it's own SWATT armed with M-4's and M-16's ? I've worked off and on with BLM Rangers for over 40 years and they got along fine being armed with just a .357 mag. revolver and a bolt action rifle.

    I know why, Obama, former A.G. Holder, Valerie Jarrett, Al Sharpton and other community organizers and leftist activist advocating abolishing all local, county and State law enforcement agencies and replacing them with federal police.

    Sharpton Calls for DOJ to ‘Take Over Policing,’ ‘Going to Have to Fight States’ Rights’
    -> http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015...olicing-going-to-have-to-fight-states-rights/

    Want a lawless police force? Federalize it.
    Accountability comes from having law enforcement under multiple umbrellas.-> http://www.usatoday.com/story/opini...e-federal-drugs-evidence-fbi-column/26830873/

    The Right now controls most of the nation via governors, state legislatures, and the Legislative and Executive Branches. That IS effectively a mandate. It is a practical mandate.

    Some economists and market analysts contend that QE has led to artificially inflated asset prices. Normal market prices are determined by investor preferences, or demand; the relative health of the business environment, or supply; and other macroeconomic factors. When the Federal Reserve begins entering the market to purchase financial assets, it manipulates price signals in three significant ways: lower interest rates, higher demand for assets and reduced purchasing power of money units. Instead of stock prices acting as an accurate reflection of company valuation and investor demand, manipulated prices force market participants to adjust their strategies to chase stocks that grow without their underlying companies actually being more valuable.

    It is unclear what happens to the stock market when there are no more low interest rates and easy money from central bank policy. The Federal Reserve added more than $4 trillion to its balance sheet in the half decade between 2009 and 2014. Not only are those huge liabilities for the Fed, they represent an important value for debt issuers everywhere. If the Fed lets the bonds mature and does not replace them, it is equally unclear what impact this could have on the bond market.

    Interest rates play an important coordination role between savers, investors, lenders and companies that are expanding operations. Companies that stretch their capital into future operations may discover there is not sufficient demand to buy their goods. Some believe the low-interest rate policy of the Federal Reserve after the dotcom crash helped to inflate the housing bubble in exactly this manner. It is theoretically possible stock market prices could crash like those housing prices if the same phenomenon results from QE.

    You're right, Obama has absolutely no influence on how things are done in his administration.

    And they only control it because...Democrats didn't come out the way they did the last two election cycles.

    But, I actually hope the GOP governs like they have a mandate. Last time they did...you ended up with Barrack Obama as president...:wink:

    And I suspect once some of those voters in states Trump barely won lose their health insurance thanks to the dolts in the GOP...those rustbelt states that barely went to Trump will end up going back to the Dems in 2020. This is not even taking into account the black voters who stood home in 2016...who may come back out to vote once Trump, Pence, and Sessions start running the show. Should be an interesting four years indeed.
