I love how that exerpt basically blames Clinton era economics for the current deficit problem which is far from the case.

<p>Well, that part of the article is certainly debatable, but the massive wealth created (i.e. government revenue and huge capital gains surplus) due to the stock market boom is not debatable -> in other words, that Clinton really can not take any kind of credible credit for the deficit reduction.</p>
<p>And I see that you've updated your comment to reflect your thoughts on the dollar and housing but nothing about the stock market...</p>
