You certainly have your talking points down... Sadly you ignore reality.

QE is driving the stock market. obamacare has nothing to do with QE (quantitative easing, i.e., fed buys $85B/month of us debt instruments to keep short term interest rates bolted at essentially zero percent).

It is certainly not a disaster for the stock market. With rates being artificially kept so low, the stock market is the "new prudent" way of investing. Regrettably, it's neither - it's high risk. Besides, it's not clear why the bull market in stocks is evidence that the ACA was a good thing. What if we get another bear market - would that indicate that the ACA was a mistake?

yes, ken.....as a good liberal i'm sure you are sincerely thrilled with the stock market action, considering the investment axiom.... what's GOOD for WS is BAD for main street.... the 1 percent never had it soooooo good the stock market is exploding because of QE, meanwhile the average 'working family' won't be able to afford 'new stuff ' because of obamacare is hitting them in the wallet hard....a downward economic spiral will ensue as more corporations will lay off workers to keep their profits up because demand is contracting.... enjoy!
