As politicians and government officials
grapple with trying to maintain the right balance between
investigating potential terrorism and protecting civil liberties,
the Bush administration, the U.S. Federal Government, Republicans
and Democrats in Congress all receive low marks among all U.S.
adults. However, the issue splits across party lines with many
Republicans thinking that the President strikes the right balance
and most Democrats and Independents disagreeing. Rudy Giuliani and
Hillary Clinton top the field as to which presidential candidates
are trusted most among those in their respective political parties
to balance these two goals.
These are some of the results of The
Harris Poll of 2,335 adults surveyed online between December 4 and
12, 2007 by Harris Interactive®. This survey was designed in
collaboration with Dr. Alan F. Westin, Professor of Public Law and
Government Emeritus at Columbia University. |

On the eve of 2008, the economy looks
gloomy as all get out.
Housing starts are off 50% from their
peaks, blue chip economists are predicting just 2% growth in GDP in
2008, and oil prices are driving inflation worries.
Employment, productivity and exports are
still bright spots. Though the Federal Reserve seems to be
monetizing high energy costs and flooding the economy with money to
prop up credit markets swamped by the sub-prime lending disaster.
Rather than allow some deflation to mop up (painfully) the credit
overhang, policy-makers here and abroad are taking the opposite
tack, heedless of the inflation potential. Or, perhaps choosing the
smaller of evils.
The Brooking Institution hosted a "State
of the U.S. Economy" event last week. Here is our reading of the
significant insights. |
