Clinton's proposal to put SS money in the stock market has strong support among Republicans in Congress. But Greenspan has already stated that he thinks it's not a good idea. Clearly, the bubble market will appreciate the proposal to make our children the suckers to take the burning match (sorry to mix metaphors here), but I suspect AG will be asked directly about Clinton's proposal and will not be supportive (although in his usual mumbly fashion he won't make a strong statement against it, either). Humphrey Hawkins day, is, more often than not, a down day as the Fed chief seldom sez "party on." Given NAZ momentum and, especially that coming from MSFT, tomorrow is likely to start off with a bang and end with a fizzle.
