or when they ignore the advice of most mainstream economists when they forge economic policy or when they claim the economy is doing great in spite of an obvious slowdown that is happening. 368 Economists Against Kerrynomics The challenger’s policies would bring “a lower standard of living for the American people.” nationalreview.com That was the conclusion released in a statement Wednesday by 368 economists, including six Nobel laureates: Gary Becker, James Buchanan, Milton Friedman, Robert Lucas, Robert Mundell, and — the winner of this year’s Nobel Prize in Economics — Edward C. Prescott. The economists warned that Sen. Kerry’s policies “would, over time, inhibit capital formation, depress productivity growth, and make the United States less competitive internationally. The end result would be lower U.S. employment and real wage growth.”

Maybe you are right, but I doubt that Cheney lied over something so easy to rebut...heck, all Edwards had to do was remember the other occasions. I have an excellent memory, but there have been occasions when I forgot things that were trivial to me at the time. I am not even fifty, you do not have to be senile. You should not underestimate the number of events that these people have to attend, I am not surprised if they begin to blur. As for the Bush comment, I doubt he meant he didn't care, I'd bet he meant he had confidence that bin Laden would be found eventually, and therefore he found Kerry's statement, with the implication of indifference, odd, without recalling the exact form of words he had used. I have had my wife deny saying something she had said because it sounded like she meant something which had not been in her mind, and she hadn't realized how it sounded at the time. I just thought of an example of the Cheney problem: one of my brothers does not participate in family events, and I had a hard time recalling whether he had been to our grandmother's funeral several years ago. It was only with concentration that I recalled he had been there, I was so used to his non- attendance........
