The economy was failing before the 2000 election. <P. I know. But it wasn't as bad as now, and I think the terrorist threat is making the recovery slower than it might otherwise be.

Agreed. I have a friend who lot his mechanic job with Continental in the weeks following the attacks. The airlines are still hurting.

There are different factors at work on our economy and 9/11 certainly has slowed things down.
