The overvalued dollar will contribute mightily to the US trade deficit until the Bush administration takes decisive action.

A trade deficit like this is unacceptable, ... It lowers our GDP growth.

The Bush Administration and the Congress have to stop ignoring this crisis in international trade. The longer we ignore it, the more American jobs will move overseas. It's just that simple.

The outlook remains poor, ... Production cutbacks at Ford and GM, mediocre personal income growth and record trade deficits all bode poorly for economic growth and jobs creation.

It's an effort to avoid taking action. The Bush administration is still in denial.

This clearly demonstrates that the Bush administration has suffered a loss of will and that they have capitulated to the worst elements in our culture.
