« Insider Trading (Continued) | Main | Things Bought With Homeland Security Money »
September 07, 2004
(by Travis McLane):
On August 19, the Northern Virginia Journal commented in its "Our Opinion" section on the $42.2 billion spent for federal contractors last year in the Washington metro area (p. 10). A George Mason University study was cited: "The unique relationship between the public and private sectors ... work
together to make the region the healthiest metro economy in the nation." The NVJ editorial continued: "As long as the federal spigot remains on, [the local
economy is] recession proof as well."
Found just below, in the "Your Opinion" section, was a thought-provoking exchange with a reader who identified herself as a teacher from Arlington.
Question: "Do you consider the Washington metro region recession-proof?"
Answer: "I think to a degree. The homeland security [money has helped]. There's been a lot of restaurants and hotels benefiting from the contracting. As long as we're in a state of fear, I think we're OK."
Sounds like a good campaign slogan -- that last sentence, I mean. In fact it's so good it could be used by either Bush =or= Kerry!
