Congress are in a dither over an economic stimulus package. With billions
of dollars lost as a result of 9/11 and with billions being spent by
the Department of Defense, the economy is in a whole lot of trouble.
No doubt about it: the economy is our god. The Clinton campaign theme
of 1992 was, "It's the economy, stupid." And he was right.
The older Bush had led us successfully in the Persian Gulf War. But,
the economy was on the skids. Clinton's win was all about cash, not
character.
