Peter, if you think the country is "much stronger and better off" then you must have missed MOST of the last 8 years. In WHAT regard are we stronger and better off? We actually had SURPLUSES in 2000 and Gore would have continued them. We had a BUFFER state in Iraq to keep Iran at bay in 2000. Today we have a Shiite government in Iraq that welcomes Adminajad as a good friend. In 2000 we still had banks that were essentially solvent. I don't think I should have to tell you what those banks look like today. Our currency is DOWN over 30% since 2000 and we're STILL running massive trade deficits. If we get ANY stronger or better off we won't have anything left.
