Dow closes above 10,000 for first time in a year,Obama we are moving in the rigt direction

It's OK, I guess, but frankly I don't give a crap about the Dow.  Just because the rich are getting richer doesn't mean the rest of us will be... ever since Reagan, everyone else gets poorer when the rich get richer.  Even during the Clinton years, wealth was fueled by a speculative bubble in tech stocks, while boring but durable manufacturing jobs were being shipped out via NAFTA.

 

Remember: the Dow goes up when unemployment goes up.
