So, I suppose I'll have to content myself with discussing things that can be solidly quantified right now - while I'm still alive.

Then its probably best not to discuss the economic effects of presidential policies because they can't be solidly quantified right away, and can probably never be very solidly quantified. Look at all the still existent debate about FDRs policies.

Re: "I'm more interested in your response to the other two points"

Not to be flip but... you are joking, right?

Not at all.

(I mean, I'm a simple guy... you bring up a point, I discuss a point. But you throw a dozen things against the wall - perhaps hoping that some of them may 'stick' - and I'm apt to lose track of what you consider 'important'.)

Raising three points is hardly throwing a dozen things against a wall hoping the some of them might stick, and not just in the literal sense that 3 is not 12. I think they all stick, they are all solid points.

If you want just one, how about point number 3, since it applies whether you are considering "Bush's term in office", or "the time since Bush's policy changes have been in full effect" or "10 years", or any time period. And also because its a direct reply to an idea that you raised yourself.
