It's the Economy- Stupid

Introduction Compact

This thread is intended for a "limited" discusion
of the year 2000 Presidential Campaign pertaining
only to policies that "directly" effect the markets.

"Directly" is though a broad term. For example, policies
or tax breaks given to spur specific industries
that indirectly effect the performance of specific
companies are well within the "limits" of conversation.

However, issues pertaining to how, where and if
a portion of Social Security money should or
should not be invested in the markets, or if separate
retirement accounts should be established to
encourage savings, are the kinds of issues
I suggest for discussion.

The following topics are "off topic"-
Religion, abortion, drugs, capital punishment,
gun control, and rumors about drugs or infidelity.

Please also no personal attacks on one another,
or discussions of "character issues".

Note that this conversation is NOT limited to
Bush and Gore (or is that Gush and Bore?).
Policies of Nader and Buchannan should also be included.

So, remember it's the economy stupid.
