Well done! I'm pretty young so I'm 'buy and hold' for years to come. In any case, there's no denying the fact of our huge economic expansion in the 90's. Claiming 'the dems will dive the economy into the ground' can only be a result of some kind of amnesia.

no denying it? it was built on lies and financial fraud for the most part. of course, Bush didn't do a good job explaining that to americans after he took office, the Nasdaq was already collapsing under Clinton, he had the perfect opportunity to lay it all out when he took office. so in that regards you are correct, its too late to go back and explain to people what really happened in the late 90s. no period in american history had a greater shift in concentration of wealth to the upper class, yet somehow the Dems are able to claim being for the "little guy".

No, there isn't, but I wouldn't give Bill Clinton credit for inventing the microprocessor, either.

If you believe that Democrat fiscal policies encourage economic growth, you are:

1.) not conservative, and

2.) a fool.

"amnesia"

I think you're the one with amnesia. This "bubble" was supported by CORRUPTION! It was not a true expansion at all. So what you're saying is you would rather have all the corruption back versus a true growing economy ..??
