Since interest rates have been so low, I have invested in stocks such as Walmart, GE, AT&T, GSK, Coke and various REITS. Getting a good yield that way.

Obama has overseen more Trickle Down Economics than any president, including Reagan. We need to rename it Obamanomics.

Yes, Obama has often blasted Trickle Down in front of cheering and adoring crowds, but this is just another one of his frequent lies he tells his fans.


EVERY Fed pick Obama has made at the highest levels of the Fed and at the regional levels have been QE Trickle Down supporters - Obama owns QE Trickle Down.

There is no economic theory called trickle down. It was media induced.
When companies get taxed less they'll invest it right back into that company and we the people see the benefits right away through jobs. Nothing to do with it eventually trickling down.

And yes Obamas economic policies have been failures. The dollar is buying less.

Prior to that we were still struggling with the effects of the 2007/2008 crash.

Whenever you can credit the government involvement for a rising stock market, you must be wary because it is a good indicator that the growth is artificial.

Have you ever taken a look at historical annual inflation rates?

Easier to compare prices and median family income from the year 2000 and now.
Who in their right mind would look at made up inflation rates by the same entity whose job it is to keep inflation down?
