Hopefully when these tax cuts go through it'll allow people to spend more. In turn business can spend more, and unemployment will go down. 8-year high in April at just over 6%.

US Govt. has a pretty big deficit right now too, from war-spending and restructuring, so they can't spend as much as in the past to stimulate the economy.

Having Greenspan take another term will help investor confidence, so the economy is, I believe, in better shape than it appears. As long as ill-informed investors don't start making irrational decisions based on rumor and wild speculation, the dollar's strength should slowly climb, and yes, the sooner the major players in the terrorist game are put down the quicker that climb will be. Reason being, one less thing for the govt. to spend money on, ie more money to spend at home.
