Misfit;

Very decent accounting of the current Share Holder situation.

However, say what one likes about the Genisis of the Global Markets/Lequidity MESS, the Clinton Adm and the Congress back then (primarily a Republican Congress) were well on their way to fixing the BAD Fiscal/Monetary mess left behind by the Regan/H Bush Adm's. What came after the Clintion Adm reads something as follows:

One thing though. It was the Fiscal (Tax and Spending) and Monetary Policies (Printing Press War Financing and reduction of needed Government Services or incompetent Government Services - both Social and Financial) of the Bush Administration/Greenspan VooDoo Pseudo Central Banking practices (the very misguided FAITH in Extremely FLAWED IDEOLOGY DOGMA) following the Tech Bubble bursting that caused the real trouble with Credit and Housing Market valuations, which then became a decent opportunity to create essentially fraudulent Lending/Accounting/Banking practices due to increased Deregulation and related emphasis on Blind meaningless Regulation and non Regulatory Oversight, etc. And that kept the US Economy looking robust when it was in face Bankrupting their Financial System. Many European countries followed somewhat similar paths to cope with the MASSIVE MISSMANAGEMENT (think absolute incompetent if not deliberaste) the US Government was pushing it's Financial System into under the False disguise of so called FREE Market Capitalism.

With hope and luck our Canadian Bush like kindred current Government will not be given the opportunity to mess up such as occured South of the Boarder.

For the current Canadian Government, listen and follow the advice of the Very Capable Premiers and the Commission of Government (AKA the Financial Adviseory Board) recently created to show you how to Govern properly. They can do much more than "save your Political Bacon". They may actuall turn Governance back toward Progressive Governance. And that is something ALL Canadians will benefit from.
