U.S. Consumer Confidence Jumps to Highest Level Since 2001

When is the crash coming?

If Trump has Bush's luck, it will be after his reelection and close enough to the end of his second term that the next guy gets all the blame.

>>95132
So there's time to rise this bullshit wave to the top. I'm still pessimistic about Q4 2017 following corporate tax cuts

>>95132
History has proven they will blame the next guy whether he deserves it or not.

>>95132
>Bush's luck
you misspelled stupidity

>>95142

Stupidity and luck are not mutually exclusive, and we cannot deny how lucky Bush was, given that the most damning things all came out after he had already won his second term. The two disasters of his first term, 9/11 and Iraq, were either too early so the blame was easy to avoid (and could be used to pass normally unacceptable legislation in a flurry of patriotic fervor) or developed too slowly to affect his reelection.

Nobody seems to remember or ever bring up the anthrax attacks. Sent from Florida to Congressmen and media. Still mysteriously unsolved after all these years. One of the Bush administration's greatest failures...

Shit I totally forgot about those, and they were a big deal at the time because they were in the shadow of the 9/11 attacks and renewed fears of terrorism. Though now I guess the shadow of 9/11 sort of overwhelmed it because they were so small in comparison.

Looking into it, apparently the had a strong suspect but that suspect killed himself before anything was proven (and even then they lacked the evidence to even get an indictment). The case was closed after that, I guess when there's nobody left to prosecute and it's already almost a decade later there's just no point in finding further evidence since it's not going to trial.

The economy was doing well before the great recession. Nobody thought that shit would happen. We're due for another one right about now. And Deutsche is still teetering across the ocean. Enjoy this while you can.

It's like the last frantic kicks of a rat in it's death throws.

we've achieved almost full employment, the economy is growing steadily, we're on track to a budget surplus the Fed has just increased interest rates, and we've managed to provide an extra 20M americans with health care coverage without the apocalypse conservatives predicted.
Considering we were teetering on depression in January 2008, I'd say we've had clear positive momentum.

Hard numbers seem to be conservatives' worst enemy here. Trump is already claiming responsibility for the optimism in an economy whose foundation was set by Obama's administration.
