Hi- I think a lot of US citizens might join you..report back if you experience that.. I think you are right about approval ratings..also I don't know about approval rating if US goes to war with Iraq..also don't know how that will affect the projected budget surplus..also don't understand why US is so worried that biological warfare can easily be transported to our shores yet Iran and Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and most of Europe are not? anybody solve that one for me? also after listening to a lot of news, don't know how US thinks they can dethrone S.H. this time..when they couldn't last time and the rest of the world was behind the military action.also people don't usually like the top of the heap(excuse that expression) and if US starts war, how will the rest of the world view us? A lot of my friends think that Clinton and Greenspan have done well for this economy but when I start asking them about how hard they and their friends are working and how many people are underemployed and without benefits,why as reported in the paper a few weeks ago more and more people who are working are seeking free food, how many companies and individuals reporting bankruptcy(anybody have the actual figures or a chart? and with the credit card debt etc besides how devastating our exportation of inflation has to Asia my friends start readjusting their thoughts a bit.. I truly blame this on the media(not the government since they want to keep perceptions upbeat) which focusses on the economy and the stock market, not the price Rubin and company have cost so many workers around the world.. rehashing again, this has been a corporate led recovery..not a consumer led recovery(correct me if I am wrong please) and yes, a lot more people can afford homes since interest rates are so low but when the recession hits, wonder how many people still wish they had stayed in rentals..(maybe I am way offbase on that one so I hope somebody corrects me) (once again if the average US worker starts getting much higher wages and benefits return to consultants(ie Microsoft case) and if we are not going to get a second wave of hacketing(somehow I have never liked the word downsizing..doesn't reflect the true implications) --again with the reports of increased earnings, anybody know how they are calculated..ie do they eliminate the top three percent for instance and the bottom three percent..let us see if they pool all the increases including the wall streeters (what was it a 1000 of them that got over million dollar bonuses) and divide by a number..what kind of great statistics are those?
