the economy was/is going to slide regardless of these recent events. the pundits will just use this event as an excuse for what was inevitable.

i believe the onus should be on the bulls to prove why this will be a boon for our economy. the slide of the economy was an inevitability regardless of the recent events.

>> I kind of see over the longer term a ramping of demand for IT spending due to the amount of damaged equipment. I am not just limiting this to tech firms but construction, office furniture, carpeting and so may other areas that will be tapped to replace the destroyed physical structures <<

replacing a few buildings in NY and DC is not going to have that much of a material impact. you have to reconcile that against the negative impacts such as reduced air travel, reduced tourism, etc.

tell me why you think this tragedy will get the economy roaring back to life.
