If government spending, crashing dollar and bear markets are your thing- then Bush is your man, economically speaking. Dammit! There is no bear market! You can't just keep calling it a bear market, you gotta have some reason, and the best reason to call a market a bear market is because stocks are going down, AND THAT IS NOT HAPPENING..... It's a patient pause market. Elroy

Well, its like this mindmeld- if I create the largest budget surplus ever, and my successor blows it away in 2 years in a furious cacophony of pork and military spending, it might LOOK LIKE I never achieved anything either. He didn't make the surplus. The stock market did. The stock market rally started when it became clear in 1994 that Hillary and her health care plan would not take effect and we got deadlock the house and senate. Government spending could not keep up with rising stock prices so we had a surplus... I feel sorry for all the "clueless" that owned high turnover mutual funds in taxable accounts. It was just blind luck that we didn't get more spending at the Federal level like we did in California where the very liberal congress kept on spending and budgeting windfalls from capital gains as if they were going to continue. Calif is virtually bankrupt and we are now doing long term debt to pay current bills. Idiots let this happen! No comdex this year, looks like the Bush economy is rolling right along. I went to Comdex three times. Other than schmoozing and partying with folks as "reward for hard work" it was a waste of time and dollars for the most part. Intel used to spend a fortune to put on a show. Do you think that show now would help them sell any more PCs this year? If government spending, crashing dollar and bear markets are your thing- then Bush is your man, economically speaking. Lizzie... why don't you quit pretending to be objective and just tell us you are hot for Michael Moore. -g-

Liz, re: No comdex this year, looks like the Bush economy is rolling right along. COMDEX has been dying a slow death for years, started before GWB was elected. The show had become a dinosaur. I know you hold strong political opinions, but you allow them to colour every subject you discuss. You can probably cite reasonable criticisms of the Bush administration, but the demise of COMDEX is a reach too far. I have been attending COMDEX for many, many years and have seen it's demise over a long period. The concept simply outlived it's value.
