Trade in stock market daily and their is all kinds of fuckery going on right now. Yesterday Level 2 prices were all messed up so you couldn't see bid/ask and today at least 5 different tickers that are being heavily shorted all massively dropped at the exact same time after running up huge all day. IMO market crash is coming soon. The corruption in EVERYTHIING is starting to be exposed to the people not yet awake. They will see it in gas prices, retirement account, stock market, groceries, etc.
Obama's "awesome" market performance was due to the real estate crash. He was inaugurated near the bottom. Stocks had nowhere to go but up.
The only reason stocks "grew" was due to QE and Porkulus devaluing the dollar. It's basically the same reason why stocks didn't crash thru the floor when Trump was POTUS during COVID... All of that deficit spending, sorry, 'stimulus', cheapens the dollar ... Stocks rise as a result due to inflation, not growth.
Clinton's market was flat until the Rs won the House in 1994. People we're spooked by possible liberal spending. Growth didn't continue until Gingrich's Contract with America. Moreover, the .com bubble distorted the market badly heading into the 'W-tard' Bush years. The media went from declaring the end of the business cycle in late 1999-2000 to "Bush's fault" in January 2001.
Moreover, both Bush and Clinton benefited from the end of the cold war engineered by Reagan (who was loathed as badly as Trump by the scumbag liberals all over the fucking planet as well as the war obsessed Neocons here at home (Neocons aren't conservatives ... They're liberals that like war wayyyyy too much). That peace dividend probably did more for the economy over the past 30 years than anything else.
So, yeah, just looking at raw numbers, you are right ... But the gains are all an illusion.
Trying not to doom but when is it going to end, is the country too beyond us to save? Help us God.
It's going to get worse, to piss off the brainwashed enough to start paying attention, before it gets better. I'd wager a full economic crash
