During the ridiculous presidency of slick-willy the impeached the MSM raved about the blistering high rate of growth of 2.3%....now Dubya's rate of growth of 4.3% is either ignored by the MSM or mentioned only in a negative way.
I wonder sometimes what the Dow was at the day clinton took office, and what it was the day W. took office, compared to what it is today. Seems to me W inherited a Dow near 8500 and it is now pushing up against 11,000.
Also seems to me clinton inherited a Dow in the 9000 range and left it sucked dry, having burst the tech bubble with the Microsoft suit, to the benefit of his political allies.

I don't want to destroy this thread, but it's important for everyone who is economically oriented to understand that the ONLY way to avoid tax increases for Social Security is to have more people of working age. Tax increases would be a disaster. So . . . [deep breath] we need to throttle down on all this talk of deporting people who could become legal workers paying into Social Security.
