...and for posterity, here is what O'neil was saying after the stock market plunged in July: ------------- O'Neill Says U.S. Gov't Mending Economy Message 17831588 U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill on Saturday sought to reassure investors who have seen their retirement accounts shrink after a wave of corporate scandals that the government is making the repairs it needs to ensure the economy remains sound. In an opinion piece published in The Washington Post, O'Neill said the U.S. economy remains fundamentally strong despite the recent sharp drop in stock prices. "We have had two straight quarters of solid growth. Consumer spending has stayed strong and business investment is picking up. As our economy continues to grow at a healthy pace, Americans will see their incomes and their retirement accounts grow as well," he said.
