The economy isn't bad yet. The belief that it's going to get worse will make it worse. We need some opimism. There is plenty of time befoer the next presidencial election to turn that arround. Unfortunately I'm affraid the midterm elections aren't looking good.

The pres is vulerable because of the deficites.

" We have abruptly shifted in one year from open-ended surpluses to open-ended deficits "

That is a valid critisism. The deficits are not due to 9-11 but to an dramatic increase in government spending that was exaserbated by 9-11 accompanied by tax breaks , of which most Americans saw almost nothing. That issue will put him on the defensive durring the debates even if the economy doesn't get any worse before then.
