Yes and no. You act as if every Presidency is static, and unrelated to the others. >>> Nope, I think you do. Clinton was able to reap the dividend of Reaganomics, You mean the Bush recession? As I pointed out, the markets didn't begin rallying until a plan was in place to pay down that Reagan/Bush era debt. but was too caught up in the heady days of the late '90s to keep the markets reigned-in. Greenspan tried, but did not have any help. >>> Greenspan tried a little (he supported Levitt's reforms, for example) but Congress - in bed with their biggest campaign contributors - shot down the reforms. >>> People on both sides of the aisle (Liberman, Dodd, Breaux, Armey, etc., etc.) sold the interests of the small investor in honest accounting down the river. >>> Clinton fought for the reforms - but maybe not hard enough. >>> Where were you? Were you with Levitt in accounting reform... or were you with the fat cat, crony capitalist cheats? >>> Are you part of the problem, or the solution?
