Hi- thanks a lot..I need all the reality testing I can get..but currently I am going to shock you..I think the French government has the right idea.. I will try to control myself and to limit my focus(sigh) (it is much easier to write stream of consciousness because then it takes a much shorter time than being disciplined(ugh)... I don't think there are enough good jobs to go around..a lot of people don't even know how to add let alone read.. remember A T&T laying off all those droves of people and then giving also that spare change(?) to their chairman in stock options or something like that..(I guess you call that blood money :> --wonder if he believes in what goes around comes around) where was it written in stone that the average worker should work a fifty hour week..or a forty hour week...geez if people were less stressed they might resemble animals more(couldn't resist) ..more money could be saved in less stress related illnesses,less lawsuits,less accidents,less divorces,less screw ups in hospitals, etc..more revenue from leisure activity..blah blah blah bobby

Hi Ron, Your argument is well taken. The Clinton administration has been doctoring the numbers for years. When they don't look good to the public, they change the way in which they derive those numbers. We are all living in a room of mirrors, a house of cards. The administration is leading the public to beleive that everything is fine by being able to bail out these Asian countries. Ask the proverbial question. Where is the money coming from? The printing presses are working overtime, producing what? Paper. Backed by what? Scudded reports of the economy, employment, ect. ect. If you look at what is happening to the average homeowner and compare it to what was prior to the 28/29 crash the simptoms are the same. Home equity loans that are as high as 125% of the true value of the property. The same as an open end mortage of the 20s. There is no equity value left in the properties. Folks today that are in the markets are on margin accounts, not cash. If the markets drop, accounts have to be settled. Where is the money going to come from to cover the accounts? Same scinerio with the Clinton administration with the IMF bailouts. If the Asians fail to repay the bailout loans, where is the money going to come from to pay back the US treasury. The Clinton administration is bankrupting the government by extending lines of credit that is doesn't have. It is all done on the premis that they will pay us back. There are no guarrentees here. None whatso ever. Consumption has its limits. When those limits are attained there is no more growth. No more new money coming in. Therefore there is no payment of debt. Correct me if I am wrong. Ron
