Mom and Pop and their buy and hold mutual funds would be absolutely destroyed...

LOL. So what you are saying is that the trillions of dollars invested in mutual funds didnt benefit from the dot.com bubble?

LOL... I think you have a selective reading disorder.. No that is not what I am saying at all. Go back and read with a mind not already made up that I am an enemy Dem.

I think you have basic english sentence disorder. Did you not see the question mark at the end of the sentence? You responded to a post in which Riot bemoaned the loss of 30-40% of the "average american's" investments. You wrote "I agree and.."

So I asked you a question and since you brought up the dotcom bubble referenced both mutual funds AND the dotcom bubble. If you and Riot would ever actually bother to answer questions instead of promoting my supposed narrowminded political biases.

Odd way to phrase a question no? I may not have been an English major but that sure seems like a paraphrase to me...

To answer your question, Mutual funds prospered as they racked in their fees as did the hedge funds who trade both ways. How did Mom and Pop do if they did what mom and pop always do and entered the game in 1999.. Not so much...

You might stick to the actual discussion instead of insisting on only debating with your straw man friends.

Your refusal to answer my questions is really quite telling.

I haven't refused. I answered it in my first post on this thread.

We've answered the question. I'll say it again. The GOP will not come to the center through negotiation. You seem to think a less Liberal Democratic Leader in the House would help the Democrats to negotiate with the GOP. That is a false assumption, because the GOP doesn't negotiate. They are forced (and shamed) into doing things. What the President needs to do (to help his own party) is have votes taken on issues that the majority of voting Americans disagree with the GOP on. That's the only way to get the GOP to "deal." If he does try to negotiate with the GOP, it will be him giving in to them. They will give him zip. So, this "negotiation" should only be done on issues where the Majority of American Voters are against the Democrats. This tax extention stuff is not one of those issues. He needs to make the GOP vote against extending the Middle Class tax break.

No you dole out some half baked analysis.

Do you or do you not agree that the Democratic party shifting more to the left AND becoming the new party of no with the stated goal of preventing the Democratic President from compromising on issues is a good thing for that party?

Do you believe that the democratic party becoming more attached to its radical leaning side is a positive thing?

Yes or no are acceptable answers
