Nasdaq at highest since December 2000. Encouraging news as the economy continues to mend.

And...

Before the market opened, the Labor Department said companies hired 243,000 employees in January. That's the strongest job growth in nine months. The increase in hiring pushed the unemployment rate down to 8.3 percent.

Plus, the fact that the 2012 budget deficit has decrease by 200 billion compared to last year and you got really bad news for the GOP candidate. Well see if they can pin him as America's Captain Scatino.

No guarantees in politics, but the Dow and the economy are doing well for now. I think whatever happens in Europe will be the focus going forward.

Let's just keep our fingers crossed on all fronts.

Not sure I'd brag on that considering the total debt is over 15 trillion. But whatever.

Re: Dow Closes At Highest Since '08

FYI, the deficit and the debt are two distinct, separate concepts. The deficit refers the total amount spent minus the total amount taken in for a single fiscal year. The debt refers to the total amount of dough the government owes, from all previous years. The debt can be thought of as accumulated deficits.

They refuse to see the reality of this country and how their guys are going solve its budgetary problems which adds to the problem we face. It's sad.

Which one is the bank robber and which one is the get-away driver...and where are the driving to? I suspect the bank robber is trying to fill his and his friends coffers.

I'm telling you guys. Re-Elect Obama and add a couple of Republicans to the Senate and we'll get back to business.
