You guys want to see a really fun math trick? You said no? well tough shit because I'm doing it anyway. Don't take my word for it, though. If you don't believe me then get out the old newspapers and see for yourself!

On September 3, 1929 the stock market high was 386 for the DJI. Just two months later on Novermber 4 it had dropped to 235, a loss of 39 percent, signalling the Great Depression. The market bottomed out two and a half years later with a low of just 41 points.

During the last few months of 2008, stocks have been dropping significantly. They are down 42 percent from their all time high of 14279 and they are even down 28 percent from the Clinton era high of 11532.

The Clinton administration began when the market was at 3199, and when he left office the market had climbed 333 percent to 10658.

Where this is a joke? That despite figures like this there are still people that claim that Democrats are bad for the economy. That in 1929 we can lose 39 percent of our market and it's a "Great Depression", when in 2008 we can lose 42 percent and it's a "downturned economy."

Maybe I'm having a dark humor moment, but that's fucking hysterical to me.

What's not so funny is that if things play out like the old days then the DJI will be hitting just 1517 points around July of 2011.
