Howard was using old numbers and he was pretty optimistic in his outlook. In my opinion, unrealistically so, however when talking in public or talking from a position of authority all the financial gurus seem almost required to be as optimistic as possible. Bush is telling everyone our financial institutions are just dandy and in fine shape yet if you ask the guy on the street you will get a much different story.
