You just contradicted you're original assertion. You're an idiot.

The market under Clinton did GREAT, what are you talking about? Those who simply held doubled their money at least. As for dot-bombs, that was a very speculative part of the market. If you sold before they crashed, you made a killing. If you didn't you got killed. Also there was the stupid day-trading craze. Like a big casino. But the dot-bombs did not represent the overall market. Also, if you held stocks like YHOO and EBAY you'd be doing great now. The real problem with the dot-bomb rage was that, like any booms (and this one had nothing to do with Clinton) it had to end and turn into a bust. So that sector was basically a game of musical chairs. We see some of the same over-exhuberance now BTW in real estate and development especially. But you're missing the point. Bush's economy stinks because it is build completely on debt-spending and war. Clinton's was solid because it was build on rock, paid for budgets and finally large surpluses.
