William (Bill?): You got that right, this will be interesting. Does anyone else remember five years ago, when all Clinton's appointees were asked to sign an "I'm an Honest Person" oath? This is what was then called the "most ethical administration in the history of this country." Right. Judging from some of the postings on this thread, it seems that I am not the only one who is somewhat skeptical of some of the economic statistics being flushed out of the Beltway. When Robert B. Reisch took over Labor, the economy improved considerably. Now that there is "virtually no inflation," and we have "the best economy in 50 years," does anyone dare to ask about the validity of the economic numbers? Speaking for myself, I would be mighty interested in a non-gov't Cost of Living survey, perhaps by the Conference Board. I'd like to see a survey that includes common food items, insurance, taxes, cost of commuting, savings required to send your kids to college and for your own retirement. I'd like to know a real "cost of living," not what some bureaucrat thinks an average family *should* spend to make the numbers look good. Well, hey! It's Xmas, and I can wish for whatever I want! Good trading, jim

I'm not sure he deserves any. Personally--after restructuring, downsizing, the S&L bailout, Mexico, Indonesia, Thailand and South Korea--I think the average worker/tax payer has done enough for the global economy. So you think Congress will allow international banks and multi-national conglomerates to eat the consequences of their own investment decisions? God Forbid.

Bill, the average working guy is not going to like bailing out a country to which we have lost so many jobs. I read somewhere that Samsung wants to get into the auto business. Gephardt,Perot, Buchanan willl have a field day next election. mike

Hi William, I ask you, where will they get the money? From surpluses? He said today that there is no surplus. From discretionary spending? That has and is being eaten up from the natural disasters that we have experienced over the last few years. Once again WHERE?????? Bill owes the Asians for putting him in office. Thats the bottom line. They own him.;-( Look how fast he jumped on the Indo package. What normal country would bail out a repressive government that stands for everything that we do not unless your owned?????? Follow the money. Let the Ryadies bail out Indo. They won't. This package is a pay back. JMHO ;-), Ron
