The problem with these yardsticks, especially #2 and #3, is that fluctuations are caused by complicated factors, presidential actions often being the least significant of them.

Good points. I’d agree there are more than one force at play. I also recognize that sometimes a single event, decision, or action serves as the catalyst that starts things along a given path.

What I personally am left with is in its simplest form a comparison of what I was experiencing before and after. Whether or not I know why the bee stung, I know what it feels like after it did compared to before. 👍
