The government and the Fed fought the bursting technology bubble and the recession with the same tools used in previous decades. The Greenspan Fed lowered the fed funds rate from a high of 6.5% in 2000 to 1.0% by the summer of 2003. The Bush administration ramped up government spending dispelling the myth of government surpluses. The deficit exploded along with government spending.”
