Title: Re: [QUAD-L] Who's the President?

Not to get on your case, but
the job surplus was a superficial hiring of extra employees, especially in the
dot.com industries, to cover up creative book-keeping by CEOs milking the
employees' 401s and pensions plans which happened to come to light in March
2000. Neither the cover up or the outing of crooked CEOs was related to
policies of Bill or Geo W. The outing was the consequences of greed go
wild and eventually caught the attention of the SEC.

And there was a surplus when Clinton was in office and more jobs.
And don't blame it on 911 because even before 911 there were more jobs when
Clinton was in office.

Economics 101. It�s something we all sat
through fighting
to keep our eyes open. But I admire your patience Jim,
for
walking some of us through it again.
I suspect however, that
your patient description on the
process was lost on some of the more
knowledgeable elite
among us who would posture such infinite wisdom in
the
vitriolic castigation a great, gentle and noble man who had
the
vision and determination to neutralize the world threat
posed by the
Kremlin.
History will record his leadership in terms most
laudable,
including �the whole star wars thing.� Really!! And I
doubt
seriously that it matters very much whether or not you
respect
a president that �barries the nation into debt.�
Whatever
that
means.

really!!! I don't have any respect for a president

Could someone please explain what the big deal is about
national debt? I don't get it. The government gets it's income from taxing
the people. When the government has a surplus it means it's taxing people
too much. When the government is in debt it sells bonds which allow people
to invest and have a stake in the country. Having a debt lowers the value
of the US$ which means other countries can afford to by products
manufactured in the US. When the country had a surplus the US$ was at an
all time high against other currencies and the nation was in a recession.
National debt does not equate to personal debt.
