re: Just hunker down, cut spending, and tell the public to endure the "normal business cycle"? And for how long? Pretty close. Have you ever been through a real recession?

JF, how would you have handled the recession following the dot-com bust? Just hunker down, cut spending, and tell the public to endure the "normal business cycle"? And for how long? The recession was very shallow........like I've said previously, the tech boom had been/is a very small part of the US economy. If it hadn't been for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and all that spending going overseas, I suspect the recovery would have started much sooner and been more pronounced. As for the tax cuts, all they did was prolong the recovery.
