U.S. home ownership has never been higher, unemployment has rarely been lower, productivity is high and consumers are happy with what's being produced. our economy added 108,000 jobs in December and has added over 400,000 jobs in the last two months.
Our unemployment rate is now 4.9 percent, lower than the average rate of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Our economy grew at more than 4 percent in the third quarter of 2005, and it has been growing at nearly that rate for two years. Productivity is high, consumers are confident, and more Americans now own their homes than at any time in our Nation's history

I suppose its good now, though were I live the economy still sucks... Its what you get with a tax happy democrat in republican guise. All this good will likely end when a democrat is elected to office. People have too short of memories and the majority of republicans, including Bush, are spineless when it comes to domestic problems.
Sadly, I see the RNC nominating another "moderate"(read democrat) for president in '08 it will therefore be a lose lose scenario for us.

As there ever been a point in history since the Great Depression that less people owned their own homes? NO.
A bunch of crap service jobs replacing good manufacturing jobs that are gone forever!
Archer Christifori: Republican Pres. Hoover was in office during the crash of '29, and both the House and Senate were Repub.
Are you a fool or a blatant LIAR?!! Ha, ha! Your own chart shows Dems in the minority in 1929!

I think what speaks to the strength of our economy is Bush's statement: we have the strongest economy in the world.
A brief review of 1st grade playground behavior shows the flaw.
IF you are the strongest in the playground everyone knows it you dont have to say it!!! Everyone knows theres huge trade deficits that means we take more than we make its very simple and you dont have to go into detailed economic analysis to get to the right conclusion. The dollar is steady vs the Euro (or losing)? Why arent we gaining ground if the economy is so strong? It translates to if you want to save money (Americans dont know much about this but heres how it works) you save euros rather than dollars. It used to be everyone saved dollars thats very simple!

Our debt is higher than it has ever been, we still have to spend billions to get Iraq back up and going from all of our bombing,
gas prices were higher than they had ever been and are down but not significantly. If your personal fianancies were in the same fix how long do you think you could hang on.

It didn't matter if Bush was at the White House or not, Dick Chaney was the one running the county for 8 years
