Yes... Ross Perot was the candidate that became rich from renting computers. I don't honestly know the state of our economy. I live in Silicon Valley so it always seems very good here. But I hear other areas of the United States are suffering from unemployment and poverty. It might just be cooperate power houses doing well and carrying the economy. We are 2 years overdue for a recession and for all I know we are currently in one but wont find out until its being reflected on in the future.
