He had a group of plumbers who were benefitted by bumping the market any time it dropped. These plumbers likely included Bubba's friendly Chinese Communists and Terrorists buddies not to mention organized crime gangs who made it their purpose to infiltrate the Stock Markets just as they successfully infiltrated the Labor Unions before them.
These plumbers are now working the other side of the street - and are uniting to sell down the market at every opportunity.
That and the attack on America with the looming war in the Middle East - along with the Demonrats (led by chief rat Hillary) vise grip on America's governmental throat - squashing anything that looks like good common sense economic measures - have helped push this market lower and lower and lower.
Both Clintons fantasized about being Roosevelts (He-FDR and she- Eleanor) coming to rescue a nation in the depths of an economic depression......and that is their plan!
They could care LESS about Mr. and Mrs. Average American who is getting crushed into the dirt in the latest economic downturn - which is getting uglier by the day.
The Clintons used skullduggery to mask the devastating effects of the huge tax increase of 1993 because they were bound and determined to not be perceived as another Jimmy Carter.
In other words, - they KNOW that socialism and tax increases KILL ECONOMIES....so to "fix" things - they had their plumbers hard at work.
THAT is the true and worst scandal of the 90's and one that the Bush administration would be able to uncover if they were not preoccupied trying to keep the Middle East from exploding into war, India and Pakistan from firing Nukes at each other, and assorted terrorists from attacking this nation again!
For God's sake - take your vapid tripe elsewhere.
I don't have one of those little barf pictures to post to you, DNC drop in - but maybe somebody else will do so.
Go away!
Let's not forget to blame good old fashioned American stupidity while we're making an invetory. I remember a very apocryphal article in WSJ in February of 2000. It was about a company (some .com, wish I could remember their name) that had IPOd a year earlier at $.50/ share, after 1 year on the market they were trading at $18/ share. The punchline of this story is that the company still, 1 year after IPO, didn't have a business plan. Forget products and income and stuff, they didn't even have a business plan... but were trading at $18. I'd love to be able to lay crap like that at Billy's feet but that's just dumbness on our part (well, everybody that owned that stock anyway).
