I guess I'm coming more from a pure economist point of view, TL. I will say this much: the economy works best when people aren't monkeying with it. However, if you want to place blame on poor economies, point the finger at the American Investing Public, who run and shriek like a gaggle of guinea hens when any company has the gall to report that its quarterly earnings may be a little bit off from their projections (which occur 50% of the time, BTW)! and are so risk-paranoid that they dump stocks if there's a rain shower that day. I'd sooner bet on the horses than trust the American Public to know what the flip it's doing in the markets.

Housing is always quirky, but it's doing well around here. Not sure how it is in your neck of the woods, but real estate is the thing right now in north Texas. -Sazerac

I think people keep forgetting that USA has a economic liberalist system.
This ultimately means that it is not the government that controls the private sector, but the private sector that controls itself.

As a matter of f act the cycles of the cotton market was one of the firt things used to prove Chaos Theory. And, TL, the 80's were the greatest economic times that I have ever lived in. Until the oil bust, which Mr. Reagan certainly didn't have anything to do with.
And, Saz, one sign of the tech industry's importance to the traditional economy is that we are buying a majority of our presents on the Web this year. No fighting traffic, wasting gas, and possibly getting killed in a wreck or mugging. |
