The questions you see were the questions posed and the percentages were how the responses broke out. To be clear this was not scientific in that the sample was just volunteer people involved with VCs and PEGs.

This has absolutely no relevance as to the intelligence of Mr. Bush's policies; it just says that Wall St. likes to know what the landscape will look like tomorrow. It's a no-brainer. The problem with Mr. Bush is his spending policy and that will take years to wring out. Enron didn't collapse the day Ken Lay took over - it took him years to destroy it with his foolish staff choices and reckless investments. Similarly the destructive economic policies Mr. Bush favors will take years to become obvious to the average person. By that time Mr. Bush will be gone and we'll all be left holding the multi-trillion dollar bill. Mr. Bush is doing a dine-n-dash and you invited him to the table! Do you think the falling dollar, Russian banks cutting their reserve allocations of dollars, the Asians cutting their US debt purchase in Sept, and the talk of changing the world reserve currency is all a sign of good fiscal policy? In the meantime Wall St. is going to make a profit and then move to Canada where there's a budget surplus, rainy day fund, funded pensions, and funded health care. Or France. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:138497 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
