Some of those "dot bombs" are leading the current recovery. GWB was handed a slight economic problem. He turned it into a huge one

Some, maybe 10% of the dot coms are still in business.

And 9/11 was a "slight economic problem", whew time to take your meds, IMO, plus the economy was already heading into recesession in 2000.

Dude you twist the facts around almost as bad michael moore.

Which is typical for a new market. Look at how many car companies went out of business by the time their market matured. The big three, Ebay, Yahoo, and Amazon are not only chugging along, but as I said, they are leading the recovery.

And 9/11 was a "slight economic problem", whew time to take your meds, IMO, plus the economy was already heading into recesession in 2000.

Most of the damage had already been done by 9/11. Greenspan started his unnecessary rate hikes in 1999. 9/11 is actually what turned Greenspan in the right direction, though it took GWB quite a bit longer. GWB's problem was he never correctly diagnosed the problem. I hope he never gives another economic speech if he wins reelection and we should do OK.
