It's the Bush market now. None of this has anything to do with Clinton.

This has nothing to do with Bush. These accounting practices took hold years before Bush was even thinking about running for the Presidency. The link to Clinton, IMHO, is that during his tenure, corruption, greed and lying were the ethics of the day. Yes, those 3 vices have always been around, but when the President of the US decides that it's okay to sell our safety for votes, nothing is sacred and anything goes.

This is about as much the "Bush Market" as the last five years of the 20th century were the "Clinton Market!" Clinton enjoyed the final push from the Reagan tax cuts even though dampened by the Daddy Bush "read my lips" deception!

Bush certainly gets to take the hit, but it is worth noting that the accounting irregularities and the rules that allowed them happened on the Clinton watch. Perhaps due to Enron, WorldCom, Tyco and the Clinton Administration the 90's will be known as the 'Decade of Crooks'

Nonsense, dd. The corruption of the past "eight year miracle" is finally being investigated by folks that now realize that the guy at the top isn't a bigger crook than they are...amnesty to all the corporate officers and directors who spill the beans.

The culture that Clinton and his cronies embraced encouraged every cheating bastard in the country to take it while it was left on the table.

No one, at least no one with an ounce of sense believed all the hype. The WSJ and IBD should spend more time yada, yada, yada on the business world and less on politics and heroes. They might have been aware of this mess if they were even half-assed jounalists...they aren't. They're shills for the guy what pays for their outrageously priced meals in the city.

By the way, while JR's comments to you were more than just obnoxious, you might want to take it easy on poor old Roscoe, CJ and the rest of the Fundy/Papal/Zionist Cabal. They've covered themselves in Godliness and they will prevail...all the way to the stake.
