Out of Ammo?(Brief Article)
In the past year, Alan Greenspan, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, has cut interest rates 11 times, from 6.5 percent to 1.75 percent--yet the latest numbers from 2001 are looking just about as bad as ever. Inflation is not the problem: the consumer price index rose only 1.6 percent last year (and actually fell by 0.2 percent in December), its smallest rise since 1998. But that only reflected how deeply the U.S. economy has sunk into the doldrums. Business inventories declined for the 10th consecutive month in November, and industrial output fell 7.2 percent in the fourth quarter--3.9 percent for the whole year. Worse off was the manufacturing sector. It reported a decline of 0.1 percent in December, capping its worst year since 1982.
