What do you suggest ,Nationalizing the corporations?
No, I'd rather not live in a socialist paradise /sarcasm.
Both Greenspan and GWB's economic adviser (his name escapes me) have made several moderate suggestions that would give more power of oversight to corporate board members and force executives to include stock options on earnings reports.
For whatever reason, Bush doesn't want to take the advice of his two (non-liberal) economic honchos.
Right. Some people will be against Bush because he can't make it rain in July. They forget the the Presidency has strict Constitutional limits on its power. Some of these same people will then go on to say that Bush is a power mongerer.
A Constitutionally limited Presidency + barely elected while losing the popular vote + 70 years of socialist/globalist government + a divided Congress = severe limits on what Bush can accomplish, especially in his first term. I say be glad we got him and work for a Republican landslide in '04!

(Bush is) not instituting any laws or reforms that will make it harder to cook the books.

I would suggest that President Bush confine himself to his Constitutionally defined duties. Protecting the pensions of corporate stockholders are not among those duties.
