Big Larry in Silicon Valley, the CEO of Oracle took out almost $800 million in 2001 to get his beard trimmed. Lets knock big Larry. I'm sure he pays his taxes.

The current account deficit has become a bubble in its own right -- currently running at a $500 billion annual rate. I think it increasingly unlikely that we will find anybody this year in other countries with an additional $500 billion to lend to us at current interest rates -- now we will see what happens when we count on foreigners to do our saving for us -- it means we lose control of monetary policy at precisely the time when we are on a fiscal ramp-up for an ongoing war against terrorism -- the future does not look bright, and it is far more serious that a "soft" economy. It will take more than a new line of trucks from General Motors or a few more housing starts to turn the tide.
