Blinder who wrote an interesting Opinion in the July 24 issue of the Wall Street Journal. Mr. Blinder, a professor of economics and public affairs at Princeton University and vice chairman of the Promontory Interfinancial Network is also a form vice chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. He stated the following:
"Yes, the times feel awful. But there are reasons to believe we'll soon have economic growth. Three percent grown is eminently doable.
