CNN's financial reporter on the floor of the NYSE just commented that the Federal Reserve Board was "between a rock and a hard place" on weighing the decision to lower linterst rates to stimulate the economy, or fueling (more) inflation by doing so.
Yes, I'd say most of this was brought on by the U.S. being between "Iraq and a hard place", too!:mad:
First getting us into a quagmire of a war, based on the lies he and others told us. Then the economy tanks due in no small part to oil prices, and his Administration's credit-card-style spending spree. Wonder how much longer the Repub presidential candidates are going to keep "thanking" Dub & Cheney for giving them such a positive playing field to run on this year!?
And people wonder why our caucus turnout in Iowa, a state fairly close in terms of party registration, more than doubled--and in some locales more than quadrupled--the Repub turnout?
Well, we've now got war and recession: the Twin Towers of Doom. Just like Dub and Cheney who brought them on. Whoever deos end up winning our nomination can say, "It's the economy AND the war, stupid!":eyes:
Prosperity may not be just around the corner, but CHANGE sure is!
