Flap the experts on Wall Street state emphatically that this Bull Market began with Reagan and that he is given the credit for this . I will give Clinton credit that after he first got into office and was failing miserably by leaning to the left (massive Hillary socialized medicine) he changed gears and acted in a manner that would not hurt the economy. I give credit to this economy where it belongs and that is to the entrepreneurs of this country. Gates Ellison Bezos etc etc. In actuality the best that Washington can do is stay the F**CK out of our hairs and provide safety in our streets. There is no tax scheme that ever layed a lick of code or flipped a bit or designed a circuit.

Flapjack: Notwithstanding my personal distaste for Al Gore, the fact is that on the crucial Senate vote for the deficit reduction package favored by Mr. Greenspan, the fact is that the 50/50 tie in favor of the deficit reduction was broken by Al Gore. Thus, very real credit to our economic boom of the past eight years should rightly be given to Al Gore.

flapjack, if Gore wouldn't have acted in the manner of unstatesmanlike conduct he did I think the market would have rallied big time. I predict we will have a big upsurge if Bush is elected as President. The market doesn't like Gore.

In other words, it's kind of hard to argue against this strong presidency theory in view of how the market has tanked the past two weeks. The market peaked in March. The Fed( Greenspan) has been racheting up the interest rates since last year. The oil cartels have done their dirty deeds. If Clinton is the reason for the economic boom then why hasn't he engineered a way to avoid this downturn. That's because he never had anything to do with it in the first place. He landed in an economic sweetspot and now it's soured. Regarding the Presidency, the market has been tanking everytime it appears that Gore will win. On Wednesday when the Dade County Board voted to stop counting the ballots the market turned on a dime and rose briefly until Bugsy said they would fight them on the SC ruling. It was amazing for just a brief time it appeared that Bush had the upper hand. However regardless of which man wins the Presidentcy it will all require time for the Greenspan moves to work themselves out. The President really doesn't have a whole lot of impact on economics believe it or not but then again you believe Clinton so what can I say because he has the silver tongue.
