If you want, John, I can do a Monte Carlo analysis on the probability that random variations could have caused the difference between the stock market performance under Republicans and Democrats.
It wouldn't have to be random to be completely independent of which politician was in power. Clinton's administration saw a genuine technological boom in the internet, and in companies that do all their business on the internet. Granted, a lot of the wealth that boom generated eventually collapsed into a bust, because the market overvalued the stock of even the genuine money-making companies. Still, I think that advances in technology, especially the computer industry, drove that economic boom far more than any politician's policies. If anything, maybe better economic policies could have tamed that ugly boom and bust cycle a little bit. ______________________________________________________________________ Steve Sloan .........
