GW Bush & Economic policy ? - thoughts, comments ?

... at least one poster here (jim L) saw the naming of Alcoa's O'Neil as a "soft dollar" endorsement for this administration.

Any thoughts, comments out there on what ole' GW's policies will be & ramifications to the market ?

... JOB #1 will be to "walk down the US Dollar" imo and I can't imagine that GW will make a huge political mistake by doing too much - too soon; to rescue either the Stock Market of a slowing US economy this soon.

... not with a multi-year boom cycle showing much needed exhaustion; not with the much needed cleansing of excess speculation, credit, inventory, capacity & leverage finally being wrung out of this market.

He ought to let Clinton/Gore & Rubin and the Richardson Energy policy take the blame for the first 18 mos of his administration and then turn things around for that final two years of his term; posing himself & Republicans for re-election.

I also predict that Greenspan will retire from the Fed before the end of 2001. - he'll only be around for a transition...

The US Dollar will be "walked down" - which is just fine for me and it will allow US Multi-Nationals to increase exports & earnings... not that the O'Neil appoinment wasn't a flag for that allready...

Slow walking down for the Dollar = a slow ramp up for Gold...and "slow & steady" is just fine by me.

They'll maintain the "talk" of a Strong Dollar... but will "walk" it down imho; as "strong" is one thing - but, grossly inflated is yet another...and neither O'Neil, nor GW will allow US Multi-Nationals to be continued to be killed by their own Dollar...
