[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the need for economic stimulus following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. On September 10, 2001, the stock market was uncertain but holding its own, and many of the nation's largest companies were announcing disappointing second quarter business results. After the longest period of economic expansion known in modern times, the US economy had entered a decline that some are saying is a recession. Others are not as quick to use the dreaded "R" word, and point to strong performance in several sectors. The attacks pushed the already-teetering US economy off the cliff, however, and the government will need to take direct action to stimulate the economy. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
