American economy enjoyed an unprecedented boom with information technology and globalization during the 1990s. But the recession beginning in early 2001 and the terror attack to New York and Washington, D. C. in 11 September, 2001 changed the landscape under which American economy was going. This paper argues that the economic polices under the Bush administration could not relieve middle and lower class people's anxiety on their economic fortunes.
