Reply #24: Excuse me, but Reagan didn't have an two ongoing wars that he had...

...already declared to be over, and he had not yet been slapped in the face with Iran-Contra.

The Squatter-in-Chief has several things between now and election day 2004 that he must already be worried about:

1) Afghanistan is getting uglier

2) Iraq is definitely getting uglier

3) Any additional conflicts that flare up in Syria, Iran, and/or North Korea will cause even more king-size headaches...or should I say dictator-size?

4) The numbers reported today may look good, but it's going to take at least 6-9 months for any of that to make any impact on spending by the lower and middle classes

5) OPEC could also cut production and that will make quite a few potential voters in the lower and middle classes very unhappy

6) Large numbers within the military are growing quite weary of the so-called "war 'gainst terra" and will choose to not reenlist...that will accelerate the need for the draft. Legislation is already in committee in both the House and Senate, and if passed, will make the misery factor shoot up by a considerable factor

7) Congress is growing quite restive about 911 documents that the White House is refusing to turn over

8) The Wilson Affair is alive and kicking...and the CIA will make sure that it continues to kick.

I could go on but my time is limited for responses to posts that are one-dimensional in nature. This time there is much more to be concerned about other than the economy.
