Bill Clinton? Al Bore? Try Alan Greenspan, economic advisor to Reagan and finally Chairman of the Fed. Clinton's "brilliance" lies in the fact that he left a pupil of Ayn Rand and a right hand of Reagan in place. FT

The Answer Of Course Is Much More Complicated. The world remains willing to fund American prosperity though weakened currencies and a huge trade deficit as the too big to fail scenario has reached a new plateau. The Asian flew actually became an inoculation for America as it was able import goods and commodities at fire sale prices,which is/was a significant underpinning in America's ability to produce at lower overhead costs. The technology exponent has had a profound effect on increased productivity and will continue to do so,but the American workers are to be commended for embracing, willingly or otherwise,the new tools of prosperity.However, most would likely say the rewards have justified the effort. Another component of prosperity is peace,as in peace and prosperity. I don't know if I would attribute all of the above to the current administration's policies,but I believe if things were different,you would certainly see them take the blame. I think the Bush folks are grasping at straws, looking for anything to counter the prosperity argument that clearly puts the Gore folks at a great advantage. The question is this : CAN AMERICA HANDLE TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING ? Regards KC
