(108,903 posts)12. Obama Focuses on Risk of New Bubble Undermining Broad Recovery
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-08-19/obama-focuses-on-risk-of-new-bubble-undermining-broad-recovery.html
President Barack Obama, who took office amid the collapse of the last financial bubble, wants to make sure his economic recovery doesnt generate the next one.
Obama this month spoke four times in five days of the need to avoid what he called artificial bubbles, even in an economy thats growing at just a 1.7 percent rate and where employment and factory usage remain below pre-recession highs.
We have to turn the page on the bubble-and-bust mentality that created this mess, he said in his Aug. 10 weekly radio address.
Obamas cautionary notes call attention to the risk that the lessons of the financial crisis, which was spawned by a speculator-driven surge in asset values, will be forgotten, widening the income gap and undermining a broad-based recovery.
