I don't understand how you can blame Bush for 19 years of a flat japanese stock market or the 13 years of the nikkei bear market. At one time, the japanese real estate market was valued at a higher level than the US market. Besides, I think Clinton was in for most of the decline. It was a Clinton stock market bubble in the US along with Rubin and the plunge protection team that kept the US stock bubble moving along.

I'm not blaming Bush for Japan. I'm saying that Bush's economic policies are very similar to Japan's past twelve years of demand management. Everything focuses on spending, rather than investment.
