Shades of Billy Joel's Angry Young Man. I wish he would keep it on the Bush rant threads he spends so much time on. Please. Member 4630651

Jack, I think he has made it even worse. All through 2001 Fed officials and government luminaries were ON THEIR KNEES begging Americans to spend and dig themselves deeper into debt and NOT TO SAVE. As a result households and businesses added a whopping 1.9 trillion dollars in 2001. I'll leave you to compute 2002, everything at zero % financing and still U.S. manufacturing isn't competitive at zero % interest rates. It's scary and the debt liquidation/overcapacity cycle will last years. It's a little thin - after having fought a losing anti recession battle on the newswires for two years - to come up with an economic plan that most Americans realize will help few and slam deficits and debt on the rest. Bush has increased the public debt by 750 billion in the last 19 months.
