Not so according to NBC news last night, which said the opposite to your contention that higher interest rates are bad. Higher interest rates (6%) generated, for the middle income earner, more than $250-billion in spending in 2000. Now that figures is $40-billion. If I recall correctly, every time Clinton dropped a bomb, all you guys on the right could talk about was the tail wagging the dog. 911 didn't happen because of spending cuts, it happened because of beaurocratic ineptitude at the FBI and CIA and a reluctance on Bush's part to get into airport security regulation. Recall, that he had sitting on his desk from the very first day he took office a report that screamed warnings about lax airport security and the tragic outcome the report saw as inevitable if nothing was done. Clinton commissioned the report and it was completed two months or so before Bush moved into the oval office. It was on his agenda for the fall of 2001. No doubt Henry will say the study is not relevant to his 911 investigation.
