Reply #9: What was the stock market high when Bill Clinton left office

[whistle]

...wasn't it at around 12,000? So really what has Bush done for the market taking into account inflation which is going up by 4.5% annually for the past five years under Bush? To have kept pace with inflation the Dow index should be at the 15,000 mark. and to have stayed ahead of the inflation curve the Dow might need to be over 18,000 right now. Bush's economy has been a total failure especially considering that the gains have been almost completely due to the wars Bush created.
