The economic surge in the nineties was as much a psychological confidence surge as anything else. It resulted from a basic tenet of the Dead Republican Party - fiscal conservatism - and the leadership of Clinton. With a militant Gingrich ready to wreck the country, Clinton proved to be a masterful leader and led us to surpluses and prosperty. Business and consumer confidence hit all time highs. GDP and job growth was phenomenal. Productivity and technology advancement entered us into a new Golden Age. Unfortunately, a Golden Age was not enough for the greedy Captains of Industry. The technological bubble that resulted was a combination of conservative avarice, corporate hyping to inflate stock portfolios, and deregulated industries. The greed of the Enrons, Worldcoms, Tycos, and their 'captains of industry' first overinflated and then crashed the greatest economic boom of our time. The Dead Republican Party has abandoned its basic planks: fiscal conservatism, non interference in foreign affairs, smaller government. The new Neocon Party is the party of super inflated deficit spending, imperialism, and bloated bureaucracy. It is time to put the pin prick to the Neocon Bubble, and get back to good ole American Common Sense.
