Why Is The Stock Market Doing So Well In A Bad Recession?

Social Security, in more ways than one the mother of all U.S. entitlement programs, has been the dragon that conservatives have succeeded in slashing, but never slaying, over its 80-year history. Their opposition has morphed from outright ideological grounds as the program was being debated during the New Deal era to a campaign masked in careful rhetoric once Social Security became virtually untouchable as a political animal.

Rationalize 80 years of attacks:rolleyes:

SS was never slashed, and this entitlement program was created by Democrats.

FWIW I don't collect any for more than a decade, and that is if and only if they don't move goalposts. I contributed since I was 14 years old,
I'd say I'm entitled to it.

So you are dependent on a pyramid scheme cooked up by the Democrats and that is failing under it's own weight.
Sucks to be you.
 
Hello Micawber,

I don't object to the debate, I object to you denying the ideological battle your party has waged and failed to succeed with like...forever.
Just because you aren't making progress up the river doesn't mean I don't see the direction you are rowing.

Part of the Republican party depends on people believing in things that just are not true.

Many Republicans have chosen to overlook the racism of the Republican party, thinking of it as 'the less desirable aberration of the party,' but the reality is that it has actually been a hushed feature.

Yes. While there is unavoidable broad brush at play when we have divided the country in 2, they are uniquely adept at pointing out the fact that their
failure to achieve ends is somehow proof they don't intend them.
 
There was a time when the stock market was a indicator of the future economy. The idea was that insiders and rich people knew things that we did not. However, now the market is decoupled from the economy. It is a casino where the wealthy are building even bigger fortunes with almost no risk. The market goes up and down with little or no connection to the economy.

There's almost no risk in the stock market? Wow, can't say I've heard that argument made often. Is this because you're a big baller and have it all figured out? Or just have a very short memory of market crashes past?

(now there is a definite argument to be made about the Fed and their actions back dropping the market in an unhealthy manner but I'm guess that's not where you were going with this)

Middle class families used to invest and that diversity gave stock market the status of an economic indicator. Now major financial institutions control investments with AI programs and other computer techniques.

Cue word, past. The so-called crashes since daffy has been crapping on a vibrant economy are settled by waiting. It comes back with no economic changes. It comes back when the economy sinks or climbs. https://spendmenot.com/blog/average-stock-market-return/

Bigotry. You are also describing Democrats again.

The stock market was never the economy, nor a predictor of it.

You’re saying there’s no risk in the stock market then link to an article talking about market crashes of the past? How does that work?

I know investors used to talk about the Greenspan put, is that why you are referencing no risk? It seems to have been carried on in a various degrees by his predecessors.
