good point, Art... but Bush strongarm efforts are backfiring
as he attempts to exert control, show leadership,
all we get are federal deficits, rising oil costs, and world tension

you are right, an election year will have attempt to pumpprime
but Democratic ineptitude among its leaders almost ensures a shift toward Republican Congress
Daschle is one of the bestdressed clowns ever seen in WashDC
the Enron mess hasnt touched Bush Admin
we stand behind our leader during War Drumbeats

I dont know how politicians can do much to light a fire under the Stock Market
Congressional inaction on gutting the tax rebates, blocking new energy development domestically, as well as minor scandals like Condit (murder?) and Traficant (racketeering) virtually renders Congress is a non-entity sideshow laughing stock

maybe we will see a SECOND HALF RECOVERY finally
sooner or later this decade, one is due <g>
I tend to think the real trouble comes after LaborDay
it will come as minor inflation generally
and headlines grabbing energy cost problems

a big problem could unfold with the RECOVERY itself fomenting sharply rising energy costs
MidEast only exacerbates it

meanwhile any Fed action can only hurt the economy now
raising rates chokes off the recovery
doing nothing sows more seeds for future inflation
meanwhile, they are flattening off MZM money supply
they did the same thing from late 1999 to early 2000
