In the light of such shallow drivel, I'm compelled to provide an alternative
perspective. :>) I don't have many urgent to do's today so I'll play
political pundit and offend many. :>)
Actually, it's well documented that the economic recovery and subsequent
boom began during the last 6 months of the Bush Administration but it didn't
become apparent in time to secure his re-election. (And there's the Perot
factor!) It's generally accepted that the actions and policies of
governments and central banks don't begin to take effect for about 18
months- there's considerable lag time. So Slick Willie inherited a robust
recovering economy and it took him 8 LONG years before he could leave it in
it's current state. To his credit he did help to bring some fiscal
discipline into the federal budget. But his initial direction was to greatly
expand federal spending and taxation via a socialistic national health care
system which was soundly rejected by an overwhelming majority of Americans
and which in turn, as a natural reaction, ushered in a Republican majority
for the first time in 40 years. After that, and just before his re-election,
Slick Willie saw the light. Again to his credit, he moved to the center,
co-opted much of the Republican agenda, and true to his nature, took more
credit for the results than he rightly deserved. Many of the unwitting
public and press have swallowed his political spin without any dispassionate
discernment. But the notions about fiscal discipline, balanced budgets, and
reducing the size of the federal government were mere platitudes until the
"Reagan Revolution." In this light many quip that, despite the one prior and
the now current correction, we are now in the 19th year of the Reagan
Recovery! Before that was the Jimmy Carter malaise.
So how old is Greenspan?
Hey, it's Friday and I'm finishing lunch!!! :>)

Clinton was the best president in US history. He is
the
one who lead the country towards economic boom after
having BUSHY economy! I do not have to approve clinton
100% but thanks to him for his excellent presidency.
Larry is a visionary and he knows how to appreciate
other talents. I am glad that he invited Ex-President
Clinton. For those of you, who wants to change their
career please go ahead and try to learn 'BUSHY RDBMS'
or wait for eating trashes made by hateful republican
congress.
