Bush Leaves Country in Crisis: Stiglitz

Washington, Dec 12 (Prensa Latina) Economics Nobel Award Joseph
Stiglitz affirmed today that US president George W. Bush leaves his
successor a highly indebted country and a dollar down to miserable
levels.

In statements to the media, Stiglitz stressed that the Bush legacy will
hand the next Executive problems like those faced by any Latin American
country.

"When we look retrospectively into the catastrophe that was the Bush
administration, we will remember tragedies like the war in Iraq, the
shame of Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib."

The economist that teaches at the University of Columbia (New York)
stressed that although "damage inflicted on the US economy does not
appear in big headlines," but it will be felt "beyond the life of
anyone following the crisis of the United States," asserted Stiglitz.
