9-11 Annotated Bibliography Serwer, Andy, and Beth Kowitt. "The Decade from Hell... And How The Next One Can Be Better. (Cover Story)." Time 174.22 (2009): 30-38. //Academic Search Premier//. Web. 19 Mar. 2012. The article from Time, expresses how this is the Decade from hell, but as well a big financial wipeout at the end of all of it. To this day, we still have troops in and out of Iraq which we have to pay for. We are in depth and will not be coming out of it since we keep spending money. As this article goes into the money that we put in for the cleanup after the tragedy of the Trade Centers, and to rebuild New York City after this tragedy happened cost us a lot of money as well. “Our national psyche has been damaged as much as our national economy by the record number of corporate bankruptcies, many of them household names: Kmart, United Airlines, Circuit City, Lehman Brothers, GM and Chrysler. The price of oil more than tripled this decade, settling at more than $70 a barrel, straining our economy” This is a fact from the article which shows how our economy is coming to a fall down, jobs going out of business, people losing their jobs as well as people losing their houses. What will end up happening? Terger, DB 2011, 'The Economic Costs of 9/11 on the U.S', Phi Kappa Phi Forum, 91, 3, pp. 12-13, Academic Search Premier, EBSCOhost, viewed 19 March 2012 “The cost of destroyed physical assets was estimated by Robert Looney at the Center for Contemporary Conflict, the research arm of the National Security Affairs Department at the Naval Postgraduate Institute, at $16.2 billion” Another $11 billion went to rescue, cleanup, and recovery. The total: $27.2 billion. This total amount is not including the money for the past few years of being in war and everything else. To show you how much our nation paid that year; “In 2001, the value of the nation’s output as measured by gross domestic product (GDP) was $10,286 billion. So the $48-$51 billion in immediate costs from the attacks represents about one-half of one percent of the U.S. national output that year.” Jones, DR 2003, 'No Help for New York's Workers After 9/11', New York Amsterdam News, 94, 37, p. 5, Academic Search Premier, EBSCOhost, viewed 19 March 2012. This article expresses how we were financially hit hard in New York because due to this tragedy 2.7 million jobs were lost. But not only money was lost in this tragedy, this article states the following; “The loss of jobs and the pressure of keeping up with rising, unaffordable housing costs have combined to force some low-income families into poverty. The unemployment rate is hardly indicative of the true jobless picture. Some of the unemployed-demoralized by months of rejection-have simply stopped looking for work. The number of food stamp recipients in the city has been rising since early 2002. The homeless population has increased dramatically over that period of time. The rise in the number of people sleeping in city shelters from early 2001 to early 2002 was the largest one-year increase since the Great Depression.

Schrader, Esther. “Cheney Gave Order to Shoot Down Jets.” Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles Times. 18 June 2004. Web. CQ Researcher. 28 March 2012.

Summary: Dick Cheney did not hesitate when they discovered that the last and final plane was headed for the White House. He gave the orders "to engage the inbound plane." At the time President Bush wasn't even at the White House he was in Florida reading to a group of second graders. There was some debate on how Cheney went about this because he did not follow proper protocol in engaging this commands. He did not care he wanted to keep everyone in the White House save and this shows that he had the President's and other members living in the White House safe at that current time. Granted this was not the President's doing this was a great example of how the members of his cabinet and different government officials can work under short notice and such pressure.
