spoken like a true biased Democrat

Bush had nothing to do with:
- 1990's strong dollar policy
- Federal Reserve monetary bottomless well for S&L, Peso, Asian Meltdown, Russian default, LTCM, Y2K non-Snafu, and Latin defaults
- corporate exec mgmt largesse
- phoney proforma accounting
- US Debt addiction
- collapsed stock bubble
- abandonment of Bretton Woods (Nixon)

get a grip, good buddy
Bush bears 5% responsibility for current situation
he owns for trade tariffs, war footing, both of which I expect to backfire
just yesterday I read that steel tariffs have resulted in higher prices and shortages
imagine how much worse off the economy would be without the tax refunds last year, which were 1/3-rd the size of the typical Democrat tax cuts, refunds, whatever package they arrive in

the pattern I have noticed in over 15 years of watching is that Democrats have had the worst economic policy, and provide the worst economic criticism
in general, they are Democrats BECAUSE THEY FLUNKED ECONOMICS
with their response to take what they cannot produce thru enlightened and constructive economic policy

but I digress between lunch belches, with tuna morsels on my face
I dont like what is going on with the Iraq/Afghany axis of clueless Islamic pursuit
but you guys would not understand economics if it were drawn with crayons

as for Leading Econ Indicators, maybe the stock market will catch up to the economy ???

does anyone remember this lunatic promotion in July ???

the stock market descended
and CNBC paraded out WallStreet sellside morons who expected the economy's strength to lead the stock market indexes higher

WHAT UTTER HERESY AND LUNACY
here we are, two months later, with economic news weakening, corp guidance eroding, bank system faltering

my take is that the economy will continue to decline, as the stock market augured this past summer
dont pay attention to the August cover rally, jet assisted by the Plunge Protection Team
damn, PPTeam sounds like some sexual contraceptive team of doctors

the next curve ball comes in a month or two, with the bonds peaking, the dollar turning down, and rates reversing, much to the consternation, dismay, and confusion of the inept economic crowd of moronic policy makers
I call the FOREIGN VETO
this veto might contain a Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld component
it will certainly contain a large GreenSpasm component
