<<The fact that we only had a mild recession instead of depression is remarkable.>> I'd argue that the spike in crude had a lot to do with bringing the expansion to an end, just like many previous expansions. This recession was a mild as it was because the economy was in such good shape fundamentally: low inflation, low interest rates, low unemployment, and a strong federal balance sheet. Compare that to the recession during the first Bush's presidency. <<Going forward there is no honest discussion from the left or right on how to solve the long term financial problems.>> It's remarkably simple: raise taxes or cut spending, or both. It's the Republicans who refuse to face this obvious truth, lying that we can grow our way out of our fiscal problems. SS is fine. Medicare is in trouble. Steve Dietrich
