According to Democrats, when the stock market soared when Bill Clinton was president, it was a response to Clinton’s tax and economic policies.

But with the stock market doing so well now, they can’t give any credit to Bush’s tax and economic policies. Maybe blame can be given to Bush for tax cuts, which the wealthy invested in stocks and pushed the market to unrealistic highs????

President Bush gets no credit for cracking down on corrupt CEOs and accounting firms after they had gotten away with murder under Clinton.

Bush set a standard that has given investors confidence. It was his Justice Dept. that went after Enron and Worldcom and all the rest.

Perhaps the surge in the stock market isn't all due to the tax and economic policies of Bush, but rather the profits of war related industries fueled by the untold billions (borrowed money) the government is feeding into the economy each month?
