RE: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Fresh debate raged on Thursday over whether warnings from President-elect George W. Bush and his team of rough economic times ahead constitute ``talking down'' the U.S. economy or necessary ``straight talk'' about an evolving slowdown. Early on Thursday morning, the head of the National Economic Council and President Clinton's economic adviser, Gene Sperling, accused Bush of undermining the economy for short-term partisan gain so as to bolster the case for a Republican tax cut plan. ``What you're seeing is President-elect Bush and his team actually talking down our economy, actually probably injecting more fear and anxiety into the economy than is justified. And I think that's a serious mistake for him,'' said Sperling. ``I think it sends a signal that he's willing to be political in describing the economy instead of serious and disciplined and not political,'' Sperling added in an interview on ABC's ``Good Morning America'' program....

<<What you're seeing is President-elect Bush and his team actually talking down our economy, He's just stating the facts the economy is slowing down. Clinton has been in office the last 8 years, he is not to blame if the economy is slowing, Bush is even though he's not even in office yet.
