- Perhaps this would have come about because of the collapse of the
- Soviet Union, anyway? Even if someone else were President? Oh, you
- neglected to mention Iraq's nuke program, which the US knowingly
- allowed during the 1980s.

- I can create a semblence of wealth by borrowing big time, but I'll
- have to pay the piper. Is this economic growth based on real things,
- such as production, or just the wild schemes of M&A artists? I think
- you'll find that the stock market rose to such heights because of
- uncounted hostile take overs more than a trebling of US production.
- The takeover of RJR Nabisco was worth some $25 billion, along with a
- $1 billion commission for the team of lawyers, brokers and
- accountants, but did it produce an iota of added production? Note
- also that in 1988, the $1B fee was twice what we spent on AIDS
- research that year.
