My understanding is the Carter took the shackles off housing lending and it was under Obama that sub-prine mortgages started taking off.
Add in the liberals philosophy that everyone is entitled (Acorn and the like) you get the housing crisis that just happen to occur under Bush

What are you even talking about? "W" Bush was president when the great crash happened in 2008. It was before the election even occurred. The sub-prime mortgages happened under "W". He was there for 8 years, remember?? And the banking industry fomented all of that. Regulation of the loan and securities industry was weakened under "W". I chalk it up to 9/11 and Bush trying to juice the economy (remember when he told us all to go out and spend money after 9/11?). There was a real fear that fear was going to keep people from spending after 9/11.

Um, NO, OP!

Unless you have 3 under minimum wage jobs??? That's what your Dear Leader is spouting as a "roaring economy."

Apparently you aren't very smart. So sad, but that figures.

Just a quick reminder: there are some things that are more important than your stock portfolio.

The futures indicate a sharp decline.

Now watch all those who said that presidents have little to do with the economy and market performance do an about face!

Your understanding is off. Try again.

But the economy and stock market performance has little to do with who is president ........ that's what the liberal geniuses have been saying on this forum.

Things may look great now (as my Trump supporter ILs gleefully pointed out at Christmas) but its all a house of cards. And I think things could get really bad when it all falls down.

I make more than I have since 2005. The most I made before this year was in 2005 and I bought a good place at a decent price in Arlington. It was small but big enough for me plus one. Had a dog, awesome new car and things were good. fast forward to the Obama administration - married, bought a house and lost money is stocks, bad economy hurt my bottom line, funding fell through on projects, business was bad as investment firms weren't moving money around...it was garbage.

Now, I'm divorced, the property I bought in Arlington before (which I sold when I was married, stupid stupid mistake) is now almost out of my price range but I'm making more than I ever have. Two things screwed me that I'm not starting to finally recover from, the Obama economy and getting married and subsequently divorced.

Nasty custody battle cost me tens of thousands of dollars and ruined me, but thanks to the economy I'm starting to make it back. While I am still rebuilding if the economy was the same as it was 2008-2016 I wouldn't have the ability to do what I have been doing now. I will vote for Trump, many people will. The economy is one of the main reasons for this. Plus, you think people aren't seeing what's going on? Go to Tik Tok and see all of the young people there who are Trump supporters. And I'm talking tons of POC...I was frankly surprised.

He'll win again no doubt, the when he does I expect the economy to stabilize. We might see a slight correction but it won't be as drastic as the "summer of recovery" Biden promised us that we never got. The trade deals he'll make will be good for all Americans, and those who are into investing in those markets - they'll make a killing.

You really believe everything you see on social media? Jesus Christ, you were told by the Intelligence Agencies that there were tens of thousands of fake profiles spreading misinformation and trying to play up/talk down support for various candidates.

Welcome to 2020, where morons learned none of the social media lessons of 2016.

I mean, if TikTok says so, it must be true. SMDH.

It's not the only thing there turn for brains...

It's a good indicator of what the data shows. Trump rallies, newer social media outlets who have not conspired int he past to censor alternative or conservative views (FB and Twitter are guilty of this), something that hasn't been tainted by advertisers yet.

We know FiveThirtyEight polls are not good, they predicted a 98% chance of Clinton winning and they were wrong, trending social media without the biases of liberal leaning advertisers is showing good data.
