“I think the leadership of our Nation needs to set the example and needs to be an example that people both around the world as well as our own teenagers and our own kids can look to. This shows the level of the stock market. This is between here, and the far side of the chart is between the tax increase and when we were first elected to office.

It becomes significant because in our society today when I am at town hall meetings and I ask how many people own a stock or a bond or a mutual fund, I mean virtually every hand in the room goes up. So we are now talking about not just numbers and the Dow Jones, we are talking about Main Street America, we are talking about families in Jaynesville and Beloit and Racine. We are talking about regular American families that own stocks and bonds. And what happens is since we were elected, we got spending under control, the interest rates came down; no big surprise. People started buying more houses and cars.”
