Discuss the US Presidential Election & Health Care
Yesterday we discussed the war and how foreign policy will matter in your decision next Tuesday. Today our series of election discussion pieces continues with Health Care. With an obesity epidemic, a failing economy, and ballooning health care costs, which candidate has the best answers to making sure that Americans are able to stay healthy without America being bankrupted in the process?
The Market is higher then it was 10 year ago.
Really? Maybe you might want to check again. For the most part, the market (Dow, S&P, NASDAQ) are right where they were 10 years ago. Not exactly the kind of "growth" I would hope for over a 10-year span.
This guy's the limit!
Obvious troll is obvious.
You must be bitter for not choosing a job that gives you such great health coverage.
Yes, a whopping 2% or so depending on the index you look at. Which when adjusted for inflation is down about 25%.
Your 401k advisor loves to talk about how the stock market historically averages 10% per year. How Wonderful! Except that it departs so bad from the mean that there are rarely any years when it comes close to ACTUALLY making 10%. In fact there are DECADES at a time where it is flat or loses money, followed by decades of growth much higher than 10%. I would recommend that you now put your money in the market unless you watch it very closely or you have 50 years to wait to ensure a profit.
If you are not allowed to question your government then the government has answered your question.
