Nah, we don't play those games the Dems did during the Tech boom in the 90's, and give Clinton credit for it.  

Personally, I think its good for all of us if the economy is doing well, regardless of who is sitting in the white house, don't you agree?

some libs want it both ways; they blame Bush for the jobs lost and the economy and gas prices, but now that everything looks great, it has nothing to do with Bush or his policies sand tax cuts.

well, at least now Kerry can't blabber on about how chity our economy. Heck, even gas prices are down. Kerry's "the sky is falling" mentality was true, only the sky is falling on him. Many of his campaign's issues have evaporated, just as he is going to evaporate and go away.

Gore would have levied a "Toilet Tax" for everytime you pissed or chit.  Guess what, gas prices would STILL be where they are at.

Dune your argument is moot..  Luskin has his opinion good for him, too bad its disected on the Paul Krugman Unofficial homepage.

I'll let the reader decide which side of the story they want to believe..

Rule one all economists are wrong at one point or another..  If you dont understand that you dont understand economics..  If it was so easy everyone would be a Billionare..  In this case IMO Luskin is wrong as he was clearly rebuttaled on  The PK site.. That is if your intelligent/educated enough to understand what they are describing..

view for yourself..


NRO's...    http://www.nationalreview.com/nrof_luskin/kts200406170833.asp


PK...
http://www.pkarchive.org/   the front page...


do your homework folks and you decide.. not me, not dune, not ripsnort, you decide who's fibbing or not..  You decide if were in a booming economy..
Shouldn't take you too long to deduct the answer..

his tax cuts and other measures did stop a willie spawned tech bubble pop with a 9/11 topping recession from slipping into a full blown 30's style depression but pls believe what you want ...

Excellent post DoctorYO...  I believe your comments and posted articles need nothing more for most folk to understand the original posted article is nothing but smoke and mirrors..

Multiple choice question: With regards to the office of the presidency,

A. The buck always stops here
B. The buck doesn't stop here
C. The buck stops here when it's convenient to John Q. Public when John wants to further his own arguments.

I wish John would stop changing his answer. What a fickle fellow.

Which is good for the US when concerning trade deficit as far as the US is concerned. Our exports are cheaper.  China, SE Asian countries like to artificially inflate the value of the US dollar to make our exports more expensive to buy.
