The market was booming until Pelosi and Reid took over and Obama launched his campaign.Why is there a direct correlation between Democrats controlling Congress and the Market tanking?
Answer..NO





Comment...You know, normally I would answer this silly question, but all the others have answered it in every way, shape and form you can imagine, and only one looks at it the same way you do. Doesn't this tell you something??Why is there a direct correlation between Democrats controlling Congress and the Market tanking?
Whether you want to believe it or not, here is the actual timeline of what happened/is happening.


1. Richard Nixon takes office and has to work with a Democratic House and Senate to fix Johnson's Great Society and finance the Vietnam war.


2. Nixon sets the wheels in motion for recession that last through his impeachment, the Ford and Carter administrations.


3. Ford tries to fix some of Nixon's errors and makes things worse.


4. Carter lets the EPA shutdown half of Blue Collar America (US Steel, etc).


5. Reagan comes in with ';Voodoo'; Economics (per Bush 41) and gets us out of the Nixon recession. He then deregulates much of government, which is a great idea until he is gone.


6. Bush 41 takes office, undoes a good deal of Reagan's ';Voodoo'; and puts us into another recession.


7. Clinton comes in and gets the benefit of Bush 41's policies and we enjoy 8 years (7 C, 1B) of prosperity.


8. 9/11 causes the second ';Bush'; recession, which lasts until 2003-4.


9. Sarbanes/Oxley passes in 2003 which means banks can't lie about loan values.


10. Obama goes to Senate in 2004. Senate goes ';Blue'; (50-49-1)


11. House goes Blue in 2006. We now have a full-scale Red/Blue battle, so no one gets anything that doesn't smell like a pig.


12. Market goes South and we expect Bush to do something when we have had 15 years of nothing?





No matter who wins, we lose. The only Statesmen in Washington are in Arlington. Reagan is dead and so are his ideas. God help us all.
First the republicans controled it, and gave wall street the keys to the coffers, then wall street raided the coffers, then the democrats got in power and tried to plug the leaks but they were blocked by the republicans. After more replublicans are thrown out democrats will have to start cleaning up the huge mess.
Better you should ask why the market tanked at the first suggestion of a bailout, rebounded when the first attempt was defeated, then tanked again when the bailout passed? All thanks to bipartisan cooperation.





This crisis was long in the making with both parties responsible. This blaming the other will go no where.





Nobody for president.
Your conclusion is false. Just because result B followed action A does not mean that A is the cause of B. In other words, did my taking a dump at 4:30 this morning cause you to eat Cheerios for breakfast? I hope the hell not! (Well, OK, if you subscribe to the ';Chaos Theory'; it does. But I don't since it's not repeatable.)





Common mistake though, so you're forgiven. NEXT!
Check out this correlation with the country going bankrupt and who the President was at the time.:

Government spending increased 40% since George Bush took office.
There is no direct correlation. What you witnessed is a coincidence. It is not a direct correlation until there is proof that Democrats controlling Congress affected the Market tanking.
Wow, somebody didn't take elementary logic at school: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_er鈥?/a>

The market was setting up for a fall after 10 years of Republican Congressional inattention. You obviously know nothing of economics.
Because Deomocrats have a vested interest in wanting the American public depending on government to survive.





Keep them hungry and they will depend on you depend on you to survive.
only in your fantasy world.
Only in your mind. This has been in the works for much longer than two years.
There isn't.
are you sure a certain shrubbery had nothing to do with it?
Democrats are expert in spending. They don't realize income is actually someting earned and not asked for (bailout) or demanded (taxes).
