The economy has been slowing dramatically since late spring and it's going to get pretty bad come November. Also, two weeks ago, the government released a report disclosing that the "Clinton recession" that the right-wingers like to throw around was never a recession at all.

Talk about between a rock and a hard place. This is Bush's best economic period for his presidency, statistically. In comparison to Clinton, it would be Clinton's worst economic time. Think about that for a second.
Also, the Fed was widely expected to raise the prime rate by a quarter on Tuesday but how can they do it now? If Greenspan doesn't though, it hurts our dollar. Who will be sacrificed?
