<we have a president who lost the popular vote and got in on a legal technicality.> The "legal technicality" you refer to is called the Constitution. I had no idea how bad the left was taking this Bush thing. If you are any indication, I believe you when you say it is affecting the national psyche.

AS, I had promised myself I would bite my tongue and not respond, but I've about come to the end of what I can tolerate from your ridiculous posts. I have to ask, are you a socialist? Every post from you lately sounds as if you think this nation needs a planned economy, that the individual tax payer (yes, you know, the ones that pay the bill for your social engineered welfare state ideas) is too stupid to know how to spend his own money and needs government to do it for him. Stating that tax-cuts are irrelevant only further proves your misunderstanding of a free market economy. Furthermore, what part of across-the-board cuts don't you understand? Who pays the taxes anyway? the poor? WAKE UP! If the market believed in Bush's tax cut plan it would be rallying or steady whenever he makes a speech. Instead his speeches make no difference or even throw salt on the wounds. I think the market's rejecting the tax cut plan as a deficit-creator and I think Greenspan agrees. This statement is just plain idiotic. Tax cuts don't create deficits, spending by an out of control government does - sheshh! Tax cuts stimulate the economy and therefore yield more revenue for the state. JFK knew it and promoted the idea. Not to mention ignoring the obvious, that we had 7.75 years of prosperity and now it's going downhill really fast. Are you saying that a good economy (prosperity) just magically got created when Clinton took office? - ABSURD! PLEASE GET OFF IT! Your ignorant political posts are irritating. As for the "trader" you refer to, I pray to God that no one that reads your post takes any of that drivel seriously. I'm hoping that you are not that stupid to act on it either. Following that kind of advice will surely separate you from more of your money. Just talked to a pro trader and he's gung ho on Greenspan cutting .75 or 1.0 this week... ...and that there are very big boys grouping together to bleed the shorts dry. He notes tons of major covering happening beneath the surface Thursday and Friday while individual shorts are hanging in there largely unaware. A perfect set-up for a robbery of suckers. Makes sense to me. If I was a billionaire manipulator now I'd try to do the same. If you believe this, you are delusional and are having a very tough time separating fact from fantasy. KT

>>>Sounds like you're buying into some heavy propaganda.<<< Actually my post was a statement of historical fact- you're the one using conjecture, political opinion, and speaking of info from "pro traders" and a conspiracy to blow away shorts. I feel sorry for the people who lost money reading your malarkey as you constantly urge people to buy stocks and now go so far as to claim shorting stocks as being unamerican. You're losing it and I don't mean only your money. When I first heard Maxine Waters and the other loonies on the extreme left blame only Bush and the republicans as being responsible for the recession - I thought nobody is naive enough to believe that. You've proven me wrong. This will be my last post to you on the subject. I find your knowledge of politics and the economy devoid of even the most basic understanding and therefore won't be wasting my time or further thread space responding to you.
