I think you'll find a near doubling of total valuation of the
DOW in the eight years under President Clinton
Sorry, you will never convince me that Clinton had anything to
do with the doubling of the DOW. This Clinton/Gore Administration also had
nothing to do with the economy either. Anyone and everyone should know
that the economy has to do with the businesses and the people in this country,
not any president. A tax cut puts more money back into the pockets of the
people to spend which makes business better. The largest tax increase on
the people in history came at the hands of the Clinton/Gore Adm. in 1992 or
1993, my memory on the year eludes me at the moment. This is where the
surplus came from and this was part of the plan. People have short
memories.

THis has stuck in my brain and I must admit it does sound good
but I must see if I can find more statistics pertaining to this
matter.
What and how many sources do you use for your
information?

Hello again, Beth,
Wall Street seemed to love our having a
Democrat for President with a slim majority of Republicans in Congress--I
think you'll find a near doubling of total valuation of the DOW in the eight
years under President Clinton. I am MUCH more in favor of moderate
deadlock than I am of letting EITHER side have control of both branches,
simultaneously. Under Reagan, our national debt went from 1 Trillion to
close to 5 trillion, as I recall (if someone wants to point me to more
accurate statistics, I'm all for it). If the last eight years were given
credit for nothing else (and the credit MUST go to both branches of the
government), returning us to fiscal sanity and a budget surplus is worth some
serious accolades. I believe a bunch of the credit for a reduction
of nearly 350,000 federal jobs needs to go to President Clinton and the
Whitehouse Administration. Wasn't it he that came to the Whitehouse and
laid off a whole slew of folks in order to increase efficiency? I do
believe he was the first President in decades to have done so.
If it hadn't been for Kenneth Starr and that Goldxxxx woman wanting to tell
me about private matters that I personally did not believe I needed to
know about, I believe he would have had a pretty stellar performance.
Now, unfortunately, I know more about his personal sex life than I ever cared
to know. Certainly, if this had occurred to be, the public airing of my
personal life, I would have been seeking asyllum in another country where
the gestapo tactics of the Kenneth Starr team who have been quashed a long
time before that squad got so out of control. Watch the C-Span
tapes on the House Hearing if you don't believe that we were being moved
toward a gestapo type of political climate. That vote for
impeachment was 100% down party lines, even when it didn't make sense to
pursue, as President Ford had told the House leadership at the onset.
I find it hard to believe that you don't see the longest sustained period
of economic growth since we started keeping records as somewhat of an
accomplishment...
Now, about those Hostas!

Of course the Republican-controlled Congress had absolutely nothing to do
with this. Right?
When a president continually threatens to veto everything sent to him for
a
signature unless there is something in it for him is the reason I see
why
nothing got done. He is now threatening to veto the budget if
he doesn't
get his way on lawbreaking illegal immigrants. His
provision only gives the
lawbreakers rights to live in America as
citizens and not the ones who are
here lawfully. Everyone is
scratching their head over this one.
