So now you'll owe your future prosperity to Bush, for bringing us back from the economic disaster of William the Bastard. And, of course, you won't realize that any more than you understand anything else about the world you so uselessly occupy...

Steve, I haven't really had much time to follow earnings now, but the outlook doesn't sound that hot. This is still pro forma earnings in major cases. Three trillion bucks in off balance sheet debt. Soon the SEC will require Co's to disclose all that as well as explain the headline earnings. It's really amazing, they've swapped their debt into Greenspan's Lahlah land short term imterest rates. Now; quarterly statements are being dissected and the annuals will bring more selling pressure. Just get Bush on TV, discussing the economy. He's a sitting lame duck. Regards, BF.

And of course Bush's monumental tax increases will continue to weigh very heavily on markets. Is this an American Record? An increase in Public Debt of $750 billion in 19 months and that doesn't include tariffs. Mind boggling.
