Just what did Bill Clinton do, each day, during his presidency, to "run the economy?" I'd appreciate just two specifics. What is it, specifically, you expect that John Kerry will do to "run the economy?"
Wait for the stammering to subside.
This is what I want to ask people like this. Doesn't national security effect our economy. Look what happened right after 9-11.
The airlines lost money
The stock market plunged
Major League Baseball stopped their games and even thought about suspending them for the season at one point. If that happened they would have lost money.
People were afraid to go to Disney World so for a while they lost money
TV stations like Fox and CNN stopped commercials so they lost $ from their advertisers.
Now if these industries continued to lose money they would have to lay people off in order to make up some of the lost profits (they did layoff plenty, but it could have been worse). If it continued then they couldn't pay back their loans to banks (being in the banking industry I can tell you these companies take out loans for MILLIONS of dollars. This would in turn cause banks a ton of loss in profits and totally wreak havoc on the finance industry.
I am sure you all get the point!! I just wish others would. I try and tell people who drink the Kool-Aid this and it is like talking to a wall!!
