Maybe you want to rethink this one year later?? We are our own worst enemy.

What is the difference between Bin Laden and George Bush? Bin Laden has an Civil Engineering degree while Bush has a History degree? I know you are asking what does that matter. But Engineers are taught how to change things and History students learn about those things that have changed. What a difference 4 years makes. It looks like the terrorists are winning the War while Bush thinks we have won the battle and is still thinking the economy is "still structurally strong". One year later, from your article unemployeement is over 7% and we just lost a few major financial institutions (Bear Stearns, Lehman, Merril Lynch, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac). Just like the stock market fall in 1999, the real estate market had all the tell tale signs that it could not maintain its current rate years in addvance but nobody listened, you included. The real estate market was starting to show signs of crashing when you wrote this article but you failed to recognize the the signs because you couldn't see the underlying drvers of the economy like an engineer, you prefered to be like George and look at past history. Duhhhh, if it has gone up every quarter for the last 23 quarters it must continue to go up. duhhhh. Sorry but BIn Laden is winning the War and we are too stupid to realize it.... Just like what Bin Laden said from your article,"If their economy is destroyed, they will be busy with their own affairs rather than enslaving the weak peoples. It is very important to concentrate on hitting the U.S. economy through all possible means." We have lost sight of who is our worst enemy, Bin Laden or Hussain. Bush chose Hussain because of the history of his Father not because of the possible future consequences. Bin Laden is winning because he sees long term and he understands macro economics....

I'm sure this will get scrambled too.

What a crock of you know what!

the U.S. economy's 2001-2008 performance: recession, followed by one of the weakest recoveries since World War II, followed by another slump that technically isn't a recession yet. When President Bush leaves office, Krugman says, the U.S. economy will have created five million jobs, not nearly enough to keep up with population growth. By contrast, 22 million jobs were created during the Clinton Administration.
