Iraq/Afghanistan is a big cost, but a one-time cost. MC/SS is forever and only getting worse.
I sure hope we don't have to bail out Freddie/Fannie. That's the end of our national prosperity if we do. I hardly blame this all on Bush. I remember very distinctly Alan Greenspan was asked about why rate were so low with a perceived burgeoning housing bubble several years ago when he was still Chairman of the Fed, and his answer was, "The market will take care of prices." Great, thanks Alan, that seems to have turned out really well for us all, eh?
