Bush calls restoring confidence in business economy’s priority
President Bush says restoring confidence in the integrity of American business leaders is perhaps the greatest need for the economy. He notes steady productivity and consumer spending yet cites fraud and scandal as ongoing issues. Democrats urge tougher rules, bipartisan reform, and action to protect workers and shareholders. The administration lobbies Congress to pass legislation, including harsher penalties for financial fraud and a new DOJ task force, while criticizing Senate inaction on anti-terrorism funding and OMB budgeting.
