Random Thoughts of a Muddled Mind

Jump-start it?

We are currently looking at a Dow of over 12,000…an unemployment level of just 4.6%…just to remind everyone…economist consider 5% or less to be the full employment. Additionally, we are in the midst of 19 consecutive quarters of GDP growth.

The term “jump start” brings to mind the idea of utilizing a defibulator on a patient who has no heartbeat…but this patient has a strong heartbeat, and “jumpstarting” or defibulating a healthy patient is a great way to stop the heart…which is usually a bad thing for the patient. The economy is solid…and as Bill Clinton so eloquently stated…

It’s the economy, stupid
