KT,

>The big difference between Clinton and Bush is that Clinton let the Fed run wild while restraining the fiscal side. <

I'm not sure I totally agree.

I think Clinton knew that if he let the Fed, IMF, and Wall St run wild for a few years, the bubble would produce enough tax revenue to avoid actually having to be responsible. :-)

So he passed the torch of responsibility to Bush. We now know that not only is Bush not up to the task, he will do a lot of things wrong.

Re: Dividend exemption

What portion of dividend-paying stocks are in 401(k)s, IRAs, 403(b)s, etc., where each and every $ withdrawn is subject to ordinary income tax? Will only taxable accounts receive the benefit of tax-free dividends? Or will they institute some humongous record-keeping nightmare?
