>> But the long delay in rebuilding the World Trade Center was the fault of New Yorkers. Haven't followed the story but I'd wager EPA was in there somewhere, too...

>But the long delay in rebuilding the World Trade Center was the fault of New Yorkers. "New Yorkers?" That's a pretty broad statement. >After a period of mourning, maybe three years or so, the WTC should have been rebuilt bigger and better. They started building there, I believe, in 2007. So the mourning peiod was a little longer. But of course it's going to take longer when you're talking about the most significant building in the biggest city in the country. >That's the biggest FU you can give the terrorists, even more than two bullets to the head of Osama. Who cares about an FU? The bottom line is that some things take time. Yeah, in theory Obama could've eliminated the deficit in a year, but it would've involved either raising taxes significantly on the wealthy, putting hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of Americans in the streets, and/or gutting the military. Each is probably worse than running a deficit for a few extra years. -Z
