I have long believed that stock markets are the best barometer of the health, wealth and security of a nation. And today’s stock market message is an unmistakable vote of confidence for the president.Krugman then posts the following graph showing the recent trends of the Dow:
However, it seems to me that Krugman is working against himself, for if the Dow in 2007 was not predicting the meltdown of 2008, then why should we believe it today as a predictor of the future, given President Barack Obama's policies?
