Stock market action the last 7+ years ? ? ?

Stupid question......which even you should be able to answer.....Who has been Prez the last 7+ years ? ? ?
Merely giving credit where credit is due.


Since you bring up stupidity... Are you stupid enough to believe that correlation means causation? That merely because -- by an accident of electoral history -- this man who was never elected by a majority and happened to be around when all of this has been going on is actually RESPONSIBLE for it?

Are you stupid enough to believe that the bull market began in 1993? Are you stupid enough to believe that Klintoon is responsible for the the longest bull market in history? That his tax hikes HELPED the bull market? That his policies created the surplus? If you believe all of that, well that's a strong case for giving intelligence tests before handing out ballots, isn't it?

After all, correlation MUST equal causation, no? He was president when it happened all around him -- must be the reason...

I dunno, my friend. I would think Alan Greenspan should get just a wee bit credit for the economy. In fact, if Clinton is due any credit at all, it is because he had the good sense to leave well-enough alone and keep Greenspan in place, this, despite his wretched economic beliefs.

Clinton is no financial egg-head. Far from it.
