I would propose that the boom times set the industry up for the collapse after 9/11 due to bad business practices and pre-Sarb-Ox accounting (which help the boom times). Nothing like taking the money that is supposed to go the pension fund and giving it to the Exec's as a bonus.

Yeah, thats a good question. The thing that still boggles my mind is how this country twice elected a man to be our leader that is widely recognized as a bubbling idiot. Apparently most people don't think we need someone smart to run the country. Didn't little W have 51% of the vote the first time? Wild...

I know conservatives cringe when he does that. That's why the debates were so fun to watch. Are politics allowed on this forum?
