The last year or two under the Clinton economy was a definite bubble. The jobs explosion was not financed with new profit but was paid for with old savings. Dotcoms were spending down pension-plan money mediated through venture-capital firms, and they weren’t creating new profit through each employee hired. "Beat the Street" was touted daily by the stock media gurus on CNBC where they enjoyed their new found star quality and manipulated the market without "personal holdings" disclosure. Day-trading was hot!

Take a read sometime of " Trading with the Enemy: Seduction and Betrayal on Jim Cramer's Wall Street -- by Nicholas W. Maier where Jim Creamer makes Martha Stewart look like a little old lady in a head scarf at the Bingo Hall on Friday night.

Corporate profits per payroll job in 1998 were $14,928.90. Corporate profits per payroll job in 2004 were $21,593.51.

The point of good economic policy isn’t just to rack up new jobs; it’s to create jobs that are backed up with enough profit so that they don’t shatter every time the economy hits an economic speed bump. By this standard the Bush boom beats the bubble of the late ’90s.

Federal Reserve’s “Flow of Funds” reported the net worth of the American household (measured as assets minus liabilities) stands at a robust $51 trillion .This isn’t just higher than last year ('03) (or the year before that; or the year before that). It’s almost twice what it was in 1995 and over 27 percent higher than it was in 1998 — right in the middle of Clinton’s unstable “economic miracle.” (Source)

American households are borrowing more, but they’re acquiring even more assets (housing in particular). Because of still low interest rates they’re borrowing in an particularly friendly environment. Whether you think the latter is Good, Bad or Ugly; working to become personally debt free will also weather out "political global uncertainly" which cause those economic speed bumps I related to above.


The Treasury Department has released its budget report for November showing federal receipts for the last two months (the first two of fiscal year 2006) amount to $288 billion. This is up from the first two months of fiscal year 2005 ($271 billion), fiscal year 2004 ($254 billion), and fiscal year 2003 ($244 billion). Federal tax receipts have risen over this time period for three consecutive years; a jump of over 17 percent from 2002 to 2005.

Despite growing a remarkable 47 percent in all of fiscal 2005 (via Economy.com) corporate income taxes surged upward, hitting $3.31 billion for November. This is almost 19 percent higher than corporate income-tax revenues for the same month of last year, which came in at $2.78 billion.

Once again, empirical data bears out the fact that tax cuts (in this case the broad tax cuts of May 2003) can lead to increases in tax receipts.-BuzzCharts: Jerry Bowyer.

Remember Bin Laden was handed over to Clinton on a "silver platter" (1966)documented by NBC News video, shot by the U.S. government illustrating an enormous opportunity the Clinton administration had to kill or capture bin Laden. Critics call it a missed opportunity. I call it "Dereliction of Duty"!
But ...let's not even go there.............

Your screen name indicates that you might be all of about 14 years old. Mentally, anyway.

Thanks for the heads up, but the "6" must of tipped over ...was late, TIRED and thus a couple more "spelling" errors. I figured was not a real "heady" response message board, so anything past 1 sentence would not be read! I could rise another day. Then there was you..............!

Thanks

In October 1994, the last month unemployment rate numbers were available before the 1996 election.
The last UE numbers before November 1996 were in October 1994? Oh, yeah, and Republicans cherry-pick. Dhimmicrats have no intelligence and no character, they're just liars.
