don. I may be giving you more credit than what is due to you but I'm sure you understand that economies move in cycles...they go up...they go down and sometimes they stay the same for bits of time. When silly willy left office the USA economy was already in a downward spiral.....then of course maybe you were one of those economic wizards who thought the markets could go up forever. So did silly willy clinton cause you to lose money? George W Bush is going to rid the world of a bunch mad killers and hopefully in the process help get the economy moving again in an upward direction, won't that be great don. Bet you will love Prez Bush then just as much as you may have loved silly willy clinton. That chart you provided appears to go up and down...wonder what that could mean. :-)

These markets topped out in March of 2000... that's when the economy began to fail, in March of 2000, during Clinton's administration, and why is that? First of all, there was no budget surplus as reported by the General Accounting Office, the Clinton administration simply cooked the books like Enron to fool the American people into believe the economy was doing just fine even when it was not... it was all done with trickery, smoke, and mirrors during the Clinton administration... when Bush entered office, he was left holding the bag which Clinton left him... be honest with yourself and look at the facts... Simply said, the bull market should have topped out early in the Clinton administration, but his people pumped these markets and allowed the Enron types to do the same and scam corporate stockholders into thinking these companies were doing such a great job, all Americans are stockholders in the U.S. economy... so now, Clinton left office and reality finally set in, the bubble for the DOW and the SP's finally burst...
