No Problem

(Fox News) - The world's richest man says he is not worried about the U.S. economy falling into a prolonged slump. Microsoft founder Bill Gates tells a German newspaper that the severe turbulence on the global markets sparked by fears of an American recession will calm down — "The U.S. economy has been very strong in the last 10 to 15 years. Unfortunately I don't have a crystal ball to see into the next few years. But I am an optimist. The U.S. economy could remain strong in the next few years because technological progress will propel it."
