> Vote for a Republican President next time or dont cry when you get the shaft. The DOW has tripled ever since Clinton took over. Jobless claims haven't been as low since the sixties and the American economy is in great shape. Please refresh my memory, how many Billions did Reagan's deregulation of the banking industry cost the taxpayers after the savings and loans debacle? I also don't recall this kind of a rosy economy during the previous Republican administrations. This ain't no "voodoo economy". As a shareholder I'm not happy about the FTC investigating Intel but let's not use it as an excuse to distort reality in the interest of partisan politics. Shahen.

JDN, you asked if you sound "nuts", well a little, but let me explain, you are probably right and all your points are valid and I tend to agree, BUT when you come across so strong- UNAMARICAN, JAIL, AFFRONT TO CAPITALISM- you sound like you are ready to move to Montana or Ruby Ridge <vbg> (I have been to both Idaho and Montana and they are both very beautiful places).... I guess it's all in the delivery. Remember, "it's not what you say, it's how you say it" !! MileHigh

As an INTC shareholder who voted for Clinton, it is clearly my fault that INTC is being accused. Why, in my quest for a better economy and peace, I stupidly allowed my greedy self-interest in making a profit in INTC to deteriorate. Mea culpa. Also-- notice I use my name. fred

JDN, The FTC had NO case against Intel. They had to show they had something, thus they picked a situation which was already in the courts (Intergraph). Furthermore the objective of the FTC, seems to be to tie up Intel in the courts for a while. I think they know that they will lose the case that they are bringing up. Stockman

JDN, From Lawrence Kudlows excellent article: exchange2000.com The two principal engines of growth in the 1990's have been the zero-inflation strategy of Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan and the wave of information-age technological advances from the hardware and software industries. With spillover effects reverberating through every nook and cranny of the reconstructed economy, the growth, productivity, investment and job-creating abilities of the U.S. economy have outperformed all expectations. So has the stock market. This is reality. The only credit any politician, including Clinton, can take is for not screwing it up, at least so far. The current wave of DOJ and FTC activism IS going to screw it up, IMO. Turning to Republicans to restore some sanity to this issue is fruitless if one looks to the likes of Dole, Hatch, Bork, etc. In the cases of Intel and Microsoft, the government agencies involved have admitted that the current charges are just preliminary to further, far-reaching inquisitions with no end in sight. The worms grow fat with big paychecks, job security, and pure power lust, masquerading under trite slogans such as "consumer protection" and "protecting the free market". If there's anyone on the political horizon with the guts to pull the plug on these petty bureaucrats, I haven't heard about it. Regards, JB

JDN: Re <<This would NEVER have happened if Bush were at the helm.>> Let me paint a silver lining around this cloud if I may: The economic recovery was already picking up steam when the Clintonistas first assumed power. Part of this was due to the peace dividend that was brought on after the republicans won the cold war, (in spite of the demo's best efforts to throw the game). Intellectual resources were re-allocated in the economy and produced non-military products that were globally competetive. It is companies like Intel, Cisco and Microsoft that have propelled this renewed U.S. competetiveness. However, the democrats have become smug and complacent and believe it is their policies that are responsible for the relatively good economic times we are in right now. So, and this gets to the silver lining part, the economy slows down partly due to government meddling but probably more due to other factors such as diversion of value-added technology investment such as improved computers and computer networks to non value-added investments like Y2K fixes. Anyway, the economy slows, the democrats get the boot, recovery of post Y2K IT spending and the resulting productivity boost to the economy ensures 8 years of republican administration. I even have a slogan for the next election: "It's the GLOBAL economy STUPID". Best Regards, Greg Gimelli PS: I lean more toward anarchy than republicanism, but see the republicans as a lesser evil.(gg)
