DOW under Bush 10,495-13,326
Dow under Clinton 3,371-11,497
S&P 500 B: 1240-1506
S&P 500 C: 443-1439
I could continue with every other index, but i won't...why does the suppossed "liberal" media keep blowing out of proportion the Dow records too, if the market didn't ever hit records, then we'd be constantly in reverse, not liek it's that big a deal

and what about the skyrocketing deficits Clinton never had to have to prop up his numbers?

funny, not a single republican answer as to why Clinton's numbers tripled, Bush's numbers are at 25% cumulative for a 6 year period, yet Bush's plan is leading to a great economy?

It is a big deal because our economy is now 'global' under the neocon agenda. The Dow is a fraction of the actual stocks trading but they are huge multinationals. As a conservative, NOT a neocon I am appalled at what a 'conservative' President has done to our national and local economies. I fear that under his influence for 8 years there is not much hope for a national financial future. Great question.

That's not all that's been under Clinton. You forgot the big crash in 2000 at the end of Clintons term. Lots of people lost retirement funds and 401k's. I know I lost about $40,000. Not a pretty sight. The deficit was just cut in half for the third straight year because of Georges tax cuts, But the dumocrats want to raise taxes as soon as they get back in power. God I cant wait. NOT!

You don't know what you are talking about. Mr. Clinton gave false, inflated numbers about the economy as he was leaving office. He caused a minor recession that President Bush saved us from. We have high stock numbers, highest employment ever, in the US, the lowest unemployment rates, average wages are better than ever. The only things Mr. Clinton did in eight years were to raise taxes and get a b***** job from Monica Lewinsky.

meaningless. any index is an indication of status for a moment in time nothing more. what's currently driving the bulls is foreign profit and investment. without that your market numbers would be almost flat.

It is leveraging off of our social benefits. They don't belong to those using them to fund below market 'wage solutions' to increase their own profits.
Personally, I think it is a house of cards, and rickety.
