... the economy will recover. Or at least, that's what Bush says
The president said the plan was necessary to deal with extraordinary hardship in the U.S. economy.

"They are necessary and I'm confident in the long run, that this economy will come back," he said.

I wondered why the stock markets were busy collapsing again.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Is Bush talking months, years, decades, or centuries?

Whatever it is, whatever he meant, whatever he said, it is a lie. If a compound sentence, multiple lies.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

Bush was holding that bullhorn a day or so after the 9-11 attack; he looked so confident; people looked to him in hope.

Now he's just a punchline.  There's a lesson there for Obama.  Hope he's smart enough to see it, if not for himself, for his kids.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to make that comment...

Seriously though, does anybody other than Bush make comments like that? Or do even people who disagree completely with Keynes know better that to phrase it in precisely that way?
