			I've never been able to spend myself into prosperity.  However, those holding current political power seem to think that's the way to go.  Time will tell...

He could explain it but not maybe agree with it.  
		
	
		
	
			
			
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	I don't see how we could have avoided a recession of some kind. It's a cycle and has occurred at least 4 times in my adult life. This one happens to be a kicker. Where Perot would have taken us might have put us on more solid ground to deal with it. We'll never know.  |

			It's being drowned out by the sound of personal wealth being flushed down the toilet.

			The anaylsis actually make quite a bit of sense.  Monetary policy is not going to do much good in the jam we are in.  Neither is bailing out lackluster companies.
