Plenty of countries in Europe are older than the United States (most of them are even!). A nation isn't just a party and its government.

Besides the UK which ones had remotely continuous governance?

Is there any chance real-estate prices will see a contraction the way oil prices have? That's something I tell myself I want to see happen, but just like cheap gas I imagine there would some very undesirable consequences that would come with that.

What is even your mechanism for that to happen?

I am surprisingly okay with this.

I'm not sure where you're coming from but no it's a bad thing and makes the world a whole lot more dangerous for everyone.

Trump saved 1000 Carrier jobs and created 50000 new ones through a deal with Sprint. What has Obama done?

By these metrics saved 1.2 million jobs with the auto bailout.

Would housing prices matching or exceeding their pre-mortgage crisis values be a clue in regards to economic issues? Because I'm making plans to move this year and noticed that zillow thinks all the housing in my town have done just that. It's been a bit under 10 years since then, that seems like enough time to recover, but without knowing the exact reason why they're that value, I have this feeling we're being taken on another ruse cruise.

If you want a house and you're planning on not moving for 6 or so years don't think too hard about second guessing the market.
