With the Dems in control, will the media FINALLY admitt the economy and stock market have been booming ??

Answer 1

They will as soon as they figure out a way to take credit

Answer 2

I am no economist, and I don't really know how well things are "booming", but ABC News reported that the economic performance in the third quarter was "less than expected," and the reason cited was a sharp downturn in the housing and real estate markets.

I don't hear anyone saying recession or depression ever, but the economy seems to me at a sort of B or B- level, not the A+ one would give a "booming" economy.

Anyway, the voters did not reject the Republicans for reasons concerning economic issues, but because they believe that the leader of the R. Party, the guy in the White House, is doing his job terribly, and this is their way of giving him that message very clearly.

It seemed pretty clear.

Answer 3

The stock mkt is booming and the economy likewise as long as you are in the strata of society that tends to invest in the market. I have never seen a worse economy for much of the middle and lower classes. Unemployment is low, but many people are working at $7 to $10/hr jobs instead of the $15 to $30/ hr jobs they used to have. Middle class and lower class are sinking into poverty. Hopefully the Dems can do something to reverse this trend, but I don't think they'll get very far until Bush is gone.

Answer 4

first... the market isn't "booming"... it's up less than 1,000 points over the past six years... that's very slow growth over six years... so it's getting back to the point it was at...

the housing numbers are looking very bad and the trade deficits are also looking bad...

unemployment is solid... the economy over all seems to be holding steady... some indicators rising, others falling... it may be booming for someone in the stock market... but if you're in housing, you would laugh at anyone that said the economy was booming...

Answer 5

'the media' has been reporting on the economy all along...what repubs fail to enderstand is that a clerk at dollar general can't spread the booming stock market on a cracker to feed her kids, especially when her husband's manufacturing job got "out-sourced" to a village in malaysia and now he's bagging groceries at food lion...the rich have been getting richer, the poor have been getting poorer, and the middle class is getting squeezed and shrunk...

Answer 6

so which you're asserting that the republicans geared up the form of vulnerable economic residing house that even the typical whiff of political exchange that comes alongside wrecks the full situation? Even on an analogous time as the president is republican? Sounds to me like it replaced into because of the fact the republicans ran a volatile economic gadget coverage. shouldn't gamble with the economic gadget like that

Answer 7

The media has ALWAYS been admitting it. But you don't know about the declining wages, the rising cost of living, and the outsourcing of jobs. Sure the economy helps, only if you have thousands of stocks on the stock market.

Answer 8

Yes. And you will only hear about the deficit one more time,when the Dems want to raise taxes.You won't hear of it again until '08.
And forget about the troops coming home ,the media will discover that it is necessary to keep them there after all but suddenly good news will start to emerge.

Answer 9

The media where I live has been saying this for a long time. The only problem is that wages have not kept up with the cost of living (ie: energy, healthcare, etc.).

Answer 10

The only economy booming is China.
