(which these negative nancy's would never bother mention what I read the other day- the positive side to such low returns is low capital gains taxes!)
-An increase in government size by 27%. Yes, I know, our party's creed is supposedly smaller government, but so what? The market has proven that what people really want is hypocrisy- just look at the latest ratings of Fox News!
-6.1% unemployment rate (Americans now have more time to pursue their passions and hobbies! Sure they're falling behind on their bills and mortgages, but in Congress we have a saying- 'If God intended us to keep our debts current he wouldn't have invented treasury bills. Or China.')
-Record low exchange rates against nearly all foreign currencies, with the Euro gaining strength against the dollar since its inception. Only an elitist would decide vacationing in America isn't good enough for them anyway, so I'm fine with America-hating non-patriots being forced to spend more to travel around in that Europe country. I didn't suffer as a POW so you could go prancing around France. (Have I mentioned I was a POW??)
And lastly my friends, I now own 7 houses. Seven! I think. Now if that isn't a sign of a booming economy, I don't know what is! (No really, I'm asking. As I've stated, economics isn't my strong suit).
Brilliantly put, Senator. Nicely done.
