It was all because of The Don.

Good fiscal govern-ship for the last 8 years has nothing to do with it.

I seem to remember Bush 2 taking over a robust economy. I can't remember how that turned out.

I think I'm with you guys, lets give The Don a chance to fuck this up.

You should probably give him a little credit for this...

I'll give Obama credit for keeping it low so that people were able to buy cheap...hope you didn't miss the boat!

How can anyone afford to buy anything? 45% of the US working population, or is it 60%, is unemployed.

That's crazy! Personally, I jumped on the Dave Ramsey train and never looked back. Hopefully I never have a reason to go into debt again!

That Dave Ramsey stuff was pretty good. Got it all free through my wife's work 10 years ago.

Changed our life and our whole view of money. Now we are at a point where we can "live more and give more". If only more people would buy into it instead of keeping on spending frivolously with money they do not have. "The debtor is slave to the lender".

I've always found that slave comparison a little.... off. I mean, people choose to get into debt, so I just think the "slave" analogy, which I see all the time, one that transfers responsibility off of the borrower, which I think is wrong. But at any rate, I know what you're trying to say, and yeah, debt is just rotten. As someone who just paid off ALL her debt a couple of months ago, I can confirm that being totally debt free is absolutely glorious. That weight that everyone is always talking about is very real. It's like my entire life is better since the debt finally disappeared. I was really hurtin' from it for some years.

Congratulations!!! Love hearing that people are taking control of their lives and finances!

who here still supports this guy? and why?

Stupidity and racism.

I support him because Americans elected him and he is our now our president. I voted for him because I thought he was a better option than Hillary. That doesn't mean I'm aligned with him on every issue though. This means I'm a stupid racist?

So you made a really bad decision. And now you're just going to 'fall in line' because he's your president? My gawd man.

And sorry, but questions regarding your critical thinking ability emerge when you say you "thought he was a better option..." You might be a hell of a guy, but eesh. Trump was a steep price to pay to stick it to the establishment (not that you did that anyways... you voted for an silver spoon fed billionaire instead of a millionaire).

I don't think I made a bad decision. I think I voted for the better of the two options... it was a difficult decision that I struggled with at times. I think you guys need to realize that half of the voters chose a different candidate than you and not all of them are morons and/or racists.

clearly not all who voted for him are racists but the other description seems pretty apt.

Ah ha, so there is someone in AMT who believes that non-racist Trump voters exist. So you won't agree that not all Trump voters are stupid... I consider myself to be a pretty smart guy. But I suppose most stupid people consider themselves to be smart. Shit maybe I am stupid and just don't know it. And to think all of this could have been avoided if I voted like you.

In all seriousness, I think it's stupid to judge someone you've never met based on who they voted for... and it seems like there is way too much of this going on these days - especially here in AMT. I'd be happy to participate in a meaningful discussion about this election but if I'm considered by everyone on here to be a stupid racist right off the bat then I guess there's no point in trying. That's pretty much why I usually read AMT and don't post. You guys are like the Fox News of the left, except worse. Doesn't anyone see that?

Well said. You're touching on the reasons why many don't bother posting here.

Then I will buy buy buy! Sell high, buy low!

No, you will lose all your current investments is what you'll do. Because you won't have secret insider info on when to sell. And you won't have money to buy, buy, buy! Did you not pay attention to the Reagan and Dubya administrations?

You act as though I would have all of my current investments in one basket...that's dense.

I never alluded to that at all.
