Jerry: Despite the fact that there is precedent on this thread for lively political debate (as any of the oldtimers will doubtless attest), MCurrier's plea for respite is acknowledged. Suffice it to say, we disagree as gentlemen on Bill Clinton's job rating. To paraphrase a prior post- without a counterpoint Republican Congress, elected in 1994 and re-ordained in 1996, a case could be made that, sans a Republican bit and harness, Clinton's inveterate liberal habits of taxing, spending and meddling in the lives of the citizenry would likely have yielded an entirely different outcome, especially, vis a vis the domestic economy. With respect to Messrs. Kennedy and Johnson, while I admired Mr. Kennedy's fiscal conservatism- as witness his adherence to hard money policy (silver/gold standard), his challenge to the authority of the privately owned Federal Reserve system, and his sensible tax cutting approach- I shall forever view the Johnson presidency and his legacy as an unmitigated disaster and a progenitor of myriad social, moral, and economic problems which followed his abominable reign.
