It doesn’t. The world is waking up to the fact that fixing inequality of result means everyone has nothing. The Fed and their foreign equivalents have run out of money and Keynesian stimulus is still a bankrupt theory regardless of the attempt to necessitate it since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The US is waiting for some real leadership to step forward, and the rest of the world is realizing they can’t count on the US taxpayers to continue to bail them out of the fantasy economics of socialism. Ebola is just another example (like the VA) that we can’t figure out how to quarantine our problems.
…and unemployment, under-employment, income disparity, home losses, insider trading, flash-trading, voter disenfranchisement, slashing services for poor, elderly and handicapped….Chip; you and your fellow ’toonists have plenty to parody!
My IRA is back up to more than I invested before BUSH policies crashed it in ‘08, and my total portfolio is 300% of what it was back then. The Dow has been yo-yo time this week, but is back up 300 points this morning and still over 16,000, while it was just around 6,500 when Bush’s last fiscal year ended, after his policies crashed it from over 12,000. Yep, Bush was really good for the economy, right.

Yeah, what’s up with that?What does a couple of cases of Ebola have to do with the value of the companies in the Dow?
