unemployment is at 4.7%, i'm sure they are counting all of the fast food employees, and we just came through the harvest season, so they probably counted temporary help,, and predictably, bush took credit for the meager and temporary, ( pre november elections) drop in gas prices...Illegals may be able to work taco bell, but they can't vote yet, i don't think,,,so i guess he feels that the actual voting American will swallow his B.S. and run blindly to the polls and vote republican, well, folks, this is one all American voter who ain't gonna do no such thing...

Do you know why the economy is doing well?
He exploits the middle-class and forgets about us in order to pump money into big business and the govt. And when this attrocity occurs, naturally more people must enter the workforce and unemployment goes down.
This way, on the outside things seem nice to certain sheeple.
The republicans/conservatives (sheeple) overlook these facts. They don't delve into the details like us liberals do. I thank you for realizing what is actually going on.

Right off the top, I'll say I don't like Bush because I think many of his policies will do tremendous harm to the US in the future. A few examples: in an increasingly globalized world, the US has lost international respect and trust which will hurt future trade; under his administration, and GOP control, the national debt has skyrocketed; the war in Iraq is inspiring new terrorist recruits; Bush supports old industrial models instead of seriously investing in alternative energy and sustainable technologies. Plus, Bush has trouble articulating a meaningful sentence.
All that said, the economy has been good (although not as good as the Clinton years) and short-term gas prices are down from a few months ago. I doubt Bush thinks "we" are stupid (he knows there are people of varying intellect); he's just trying to appeal to his constituency and maintain power.

you have raised various factors: Petrol/Diesel fees are meditated interior the fee of Crude Oil, over wghich the U. S. has little say given which you do no longer produce very lots of your man or woman on a share foundation. Your economic device s already in threat, and gas fees are neither a clarification for that, no longer a symptom. The reasons of that are exterior. you're seeing value ameliorations in gas fees to worldwide evels: you have oftentimes paid far much less for fuels than something of the worldwide on the refinery end. Your taxes on fuels are incredibly low via worldwide standards too, yet it quite is an inner remember on your us of a. Ceilings for fees continually create shortages, corruption and inflation. i'm specific that a cut back interior the fee of gas will bring about larger taxes or sales someplace else, plus a enormous forms to police a ceiling. international places like Viet Nam have fastened gas fees, yet each tax payer remains subsidising the fee of gas, and interior the U. S. that must be a super tax burden.

Actually, the economy is doing pretty well. Interest rates are holding steady, and the stock market is rising. Gas prices are down, and they continue to drop. A barrel of oil was $57 this week compared to $75 a few weeks ago. Maybe you haven't bought gas lately. However, no administration controls a world commodity like oil. I don't know about Taco Bell workers or how they vote (or don't), but I think that was just a rant on your part.

Were in Glided Age 2 like the late 19th century in America, and accept were being exploited till the next Teddy Roosevelt is president. Bush get a B for the ecomony because Gas prices are beyond his control, and gets a B for Tax cuts since there were needed to stimulate ecomony. Bush domestic policy in regrads to the ecomony is good. The 4.7% unemployment rate is better than Clinton years. Bush policy in regrads to Europe, Iraq , Iran , North Korea are a failure.

No, those two facts are true. The US economy is doing great, and gas prices are down quite a bit from just a few weeks ago. I doubt Bush took credit for it though, as he nor the government has any short-term control over the economy or commodity prices.

The Dow Jones is at an all time high, and gas prices are the lowest they've been in a long time. Do you disagree?
Clearly you're not a Bush fan, but be careful! You're dangerously close to being the subject of this question:

Maybe you are stupid. The economy IS up, investors have confidence in the stock market again, employment IS up (of course the person wiping tables at McDonalds is counted because they are not unemployed), inflation is low, and gas prices are down. Read a good financial paper like WSJ instead of Yahoo Answers.

If you would follow the markets you would know the economy is up. The Dow Jones closed on Friday just 40 points shy of 12000. It broke its record all time high a week ago.
