Poll of the Day > Another aid quits, markets drop most since 08 and refused to release dem's memo

(+) Yeah! (+)

Great day for this dude

Considering how much the markets are up, the fall isn't as meaningful. The markets are still up as a whole -- the Dow, for instance, is a bit less than double its 2008 peak (and more than double its 2008 low).

Also you misspelled "aide" and, I should note, aides resign all the time for personal reasons. As for the memo, that's just the usual political maneuvering. tbh, it's like you never paid attention to politics before now.

Huge growth spurt followed by a recession from an unstable and unregulated market. Tax cuts for the rich and increases for the poor do that.

The recession isn't here yet... but it's very similar to how the country was after Bush, and the roaring 20s. After the real deal happens, we blame it on Obama. Take notes.

The market spiked the day he won the election. He hadn't done anything at that point.

The problem with that assertion is the housing bubble dates back to the Clinton era. And the first recession under Bush was triggered by 9/11, which was planned under Clinton. Before Bush had even won his primary, the pilots were beginning to receive training for the attack and they were already in the US before he won the general election.

I'm pretty sure Bill Clinton didn't plan that terrorist attack.

Under Clinton, not by Clinton >_> Although I suppose the wording has some inherent ambiguity.

From what I read the memo was bogged down with classified material making it impossible to release to the public without heavy redactions. It was a Democrat ploy because if the memo was released with redactions it would look like Trump was censoring it. Instead he told the democrats to rewrite it so it could be released without having classified info removed.
