RE:"How, specifically, did he "start the bubble"? Was it the evil part about balancing the budget? Cutting military spending? Slowing the growth of government? Getting BJ's?"

Funny you should ask that.
Since Clinton and Gore ran around for years claiming they were the catalyst behind the stock market run up I figured it was true. <G> <not> In reality I don't think they were.
Likely as much the serendipity of when he was in office. Coming out of recession. The rise of the internet and the year 2000 build out.

OTOH, leave it to the politicos to take the credit.

As for tax cuts...I'm for simplification and pork cutting.

As for Bush, he's not doing everything right in my book. Basically pussyfooting around on a lot of stuff.
He's actually acting a lot like Gore said he would, nation building, trashing the immigration laws, spending like a drunkin' sailor...
