"I was a bulldog on the pant leg of opportunity."

— George W. Bush, on his career as Texas oilman and baseball owner

At least Bill C. used a woman!

Sorry, I mis-read the title to this thread. I thought it said "The President's New Bitc..." I mean, "Witch".

I read all through that article and didn't see one reference to the President hanging with a smartly-dressed buxom intern. I then came back and realized my error.

Please, continue on your way. There's nothing more for you to see here.

Anyone who thought the market was a safe investment, especially with the inflated P/E ratios of every company traded, should have their heads examined.

And to blame ANY president, much less Bush, just shows your ignorance.

Yes Airspro...please let's get Jimmy Carter back in the White House for those great Economic times.

That is THE most flawed logic I have read in a long time.

Sorry airspro.. I think you forgot just exactly when it was the market started to "crash". I also believe you have no real idea why it happened.

Are you miss cleo?
How do you do that exactly if you can't see the future???
I tend to agree with you on the first part though

any idea when the rupublican party will become responsible for the state of the economy ?

since they are in charge and all. just a date when they will not blame clinton? or has a craped out economy that seems to go in hand with a repub president always been clintons fault?

Rude · « **Reply #26 on:** July 30, 2002, 09:22:23 AM »

Very seldom is any political party responsible for the economy...it takes a huge policy change to alter the business cycle.

Ever give a thought to the working men and women as well as the businesses or idea mills throughout our country which contribute to our economy on a daily basis? Could world markets have an influence? And don't tell me that we effect the world to an extent that would make a difference....again, very seldom will policy effect our economy or the world markets.

The only thing politicians do with an economy is take credit for a good one or blame others for it's demise...the truth is, neither have much to do with our economy....anyone who thinks they do are kidding themselves.

The key to understanding our economy is very simple...Business Cycle.

It's as old as dirt....all good things must find their end...when they do, they decline, which in turn presents opportunities for those with the means to take advantage.

Neither Bush nor Clinton are relative to our economy....now being relative to the quality of leadership overall, that is another thread altogether.

Just a little historical background since we were getting technical about definitions yesterday,

From the Motley Fool:

"Recession" is defined as a decline in real gross domestic product for two consecutive quarters.

From US Government:

Gross domestic product Qtr statistics: ($1,000.000,000)
91 IQ: 5,886.3 91 IIQ 5,962.0 91 IIIQ 6,015.9 91 IVQ 6,080.7 92 IQ: 6,183.6 92 IIQ 6,276.6 92 IIIQ 6,345.8 92 IVQ 6,469.8
93 IQ: 6,521.6 93 IIQ 6,596.7

From Holden McGroin:

So it appears that there was not a 'decline in real gross domestic product for two consecutive quarters' therefore, the US economy was decreasing its rate of growth rather than shrinking its GDP. Just another definition of 'is' from Willie, and willing accomplices.
Clinton inherited a growing economy.

So... while the economic cycle can be influenced by our government, it is, thank god, not directly tied to the resident at 1600 Penn Ave.

Voting only with your pocket rather than your brain is probably not in the best interests of you, the country, or the world.

So 9/11 had nothing to do with the current state of the economy then?
