That's always the standard conservative spin isn't it.... that everything's either all doom-and-gloom (aka ''the sky is falling''), or else it's the typical backhanded, ''but things aren't improving fast enough''?!

Things aren't improving fast enough though. Obviously a lot has to do with both the intransigence of team red but also the watered-down austerity fans and deficit kooks and FIRE sector bootlickers among team blue. One poster or one side being wholly wrong about pretty much everything doesn't negate the fact the Dow is meaningless as a measurement of economic health.

Objectively, would agree re: the moment... although the point is that even under the best of conditions, we're never gonna hear the GOP give due credit or admit that the glass might be "half full" (although in certain cases they might be known to go, "Mission Accomplished", or even "Heck of a job, Brownie")!
Wow, you know what...everything is great now....so much has changed....everyone is happy?????? Now that the stock market is almost back to where it was, all the people without jobs that are broke have so much to celebrate.

I seem to remember a large amount of right-wing jubilation when the Dow hit its all-time high.
