OT OT The Clinton Gore years saw the benefits of the Reagan Bush fiscal policies. Reagan & Bush managed to repair the massive damage of the Carter years and put us on an economic path, which has been nearly unprecedented. To Clinton's credit, he pretty much left things alone and took the credit. The fact of the matter is that the deficit spending of the Reagan Bush years started an economic boom that overshadowed and more than outweighed the deficits. It's been my observation that it usually takes a republican administration 8 years to undo the damage usually done by a democratic administration in 4 years. This case is special in that this administration has had a hands off philosophy and hasn't done significant damage. The same will certainly not be the case in the event of a Gore administration. Regards, Bill

Your views are so far removed from the true causes of our economic prosperity, and the fundamental economic, tax, regulation, and spending policies of the major political parties, that any point by point response would be utterly useless. I recommend that you read Lawrence Kudlow's book, American Abundance: The New Economic and Moral Prosperity. If you do so with an open mind, you may learn something from it.

<<what an incredible CROCK of s**t! The biggest "tax" of all is inflation and the Clinton-Gore years have seen a massive cut in that pernicious tax. >> ummm...perhaps you've forgotten what interest rates were BEFORE Reagan/Bush took office... you don't quite remember the 20+% prime rates during Carter's administration? maybe you can go back to your history books and see that the Reagan/Bush era brought prosperity back to a horrible spiraling inflationary environment...which was brought on by HUGE government programs that the prior administration had put into place. while i GREATLY respect President Carter as a humanitarian, i don't think he had the right views for a president. btw, keep in mind it's the REAL rate of return that matters. what you keep after TAXES and INFLATION.

Reagan and Bush laid the groundwork for prosperity. Unfortunately, Bush happened to catch one of the "soft landings" in election year. the economy waits for no politician....
