On the recordSeptember 23, 2002
The fact is, during this administration the economy has gone downhill every month the President has been in office. To talk about when a problem started, we had problems during the 8 years that Clinton was President, but he was able to respond to make sure the country went on an upward path after that. The fact is, President Bush, no matter what he received when he was President, has done nothing to alleviate the problem. He has made it worse. I would say to my friend from New Mexico, if he read the rest of Stiglitz's article, I find Stiglitz blames much, if not all, of the problems of this economy directly on the President, President Bush's economic policies. Joseph Stiglitz has won a Nobel Prize in economics. He is one of the most renowned economists in the world. He places the blame at the foot of the President of the United States, President Bush, for the economy we now have.
