I've got to give you credit for saying that. Most on your side think the market went over a cliff in January 2001, rather then March 2000. Even when pointed out to them that the decline started before Bush took office, they claim it was because he WAS going to take office- -even though he did not even have the nomination in March 2000.

Bubbles have BAD consequences when they burst. They leave HUGE amounts of unserviceable debt behind them that can drag on an economy for years. Companies and people who were part of the bubble economy suddenly are needed once the bubble collapses. And they have no place to get new money because other companies are cutting back because they have lost THEIR business.

A bit more. The link in here have some good info on the effects of bubbles.

And, yes, GWB needs to do more about the economy. If you figure out what that something is that will actually work, let me know. This mess is so bad it's hard to see a path through it.
