>> Better get the economy going and in a hurry. The election train will be leaving the station soon << You assume they have the power to do so. Greenspan so far has utterly failed. The fiscal policy being proposed will do very little. I love it when people's best 3 reasons for a market rally are: 1) Markets will go up after war uncertainty is lifted 2) Markets can't fall 4 years in row, can they? 3) Markets go up in an election year. What a joke. At this point any rally will be just another short term bear market rally.
