Incorrect. Alan Greenspan and a bunch of Wall Street banks got us into the first mess. Saudi Arabia got us into the second mess.

Being good for the economy does not mean creating a good economy. It means managing the prevailing economic situation in a good way. I believe Harper has done this. I also believe he was set up well by Chretien/Martin to do so. I believe Harper continues to be the best person to do so.
