I thought I would start this thread, to be saved for consideration a year or two from now. Today the American people voted the Democrats into control of the congress. It is important to set aside some of the natural bias that partition politics brings and look instead at the raw numbers. So, for future consideration, here are the economic and domestic factors which the Democrats have inherited from Republican leadership.

Unemployment: 4.4%
DJIA: 12,127
NASDAQ: 2377
NYSE: 8833
Personal Income: $10.7 Trillion (per Department of Commerce)
Trade Deficit: $64.3 Billion

I know there are more numbers I could site, but those are the top key and easy to track numbers.

It should be interesting to see how well our economic prosperity is cared for, under new leadership, in the months that follow.
