what do you think of the US economy?

Question

can you please let me know what you guys think of the US economy, is it good or bad? or maybe in details on how you feel!

Thank You

Answer 1

The U.S economy rules!

-The stock market is at an all time high
-Home ownership is at a 30 year high
-Unemployment is at a 30 year low (4.3%)

And this is all despite a devastating hurricane, record gas prices, and an expensive war in Iraq. We should be in a National recession, but instead, our economy hasn't missed a beat since Clinton left the White House (yes, Clinton did an excellent job with the economy!).

How is our economy booming? Because Bush is taking his hands off and letting businesses and entrepreneurs do there thing! It's just like Capitalism was designed to work!

God Bless America!

Answer 2

Well that depends on your definition of good and bad.

The economy is terrible if you are a liberal.
1)Lowest unemployment rate almost ever.
2)Most private home ownership ever.
3)Stock market going through the roof.
The economy is fantastic if you are everyone else.
for the same reasons.

Answer 3

The economy did a 180 when Clinton left office. And Reagan fixed in after Carter. I see a attern forming. We will see in a few years. Liberal policies do not work.

Answer 4

The economy's heading down the toilet, and it's got a great start. That's what happens when you replace good-paying union manufacturing jobs with s***** service jobs with low pay and no benefits.
No manufacturing jobs means no middle class (who pay the bulk of this nations taxes.) We owe this in good part to good ol' Mr. Clinton, that quasi-liberal who signed NAFTA into law. That giant sucking sound at the border that Ross Perot talked about is now being heard loud and clear.
Our only hope is to withdraw from NAFTA, and I don't mean with Canada; they share our standard of living, if in fact they don't exceed it. You know who I mean.

Answer 5

I really see no concerns.
I have personally experienced the examples of out sourcing and foreign competition that crop up every once in a while - the company I worked for relocated over seas - and I did the job search circus for a short while, finally going into business for myself.
No regrets so far.

Answer 6

Economy.

Stock market goes up. It does not mean that your pocket is going to fill up. Walmart share goes up = your jobs have gone away. Oil company share growing=your money is spent more in the pump than buying grocery.

This government has gotten us into the war so much that you have idea that many jobs have gone abraod. People have been like "oh my God theart level is in orange so scary" and their job is slowly pushed away into another country. Ya you are safe these people put a threat level and send a bunch of police but if you starved to death cuz you did not have any job is that good?

If you are counting of Social Security then there even worse news cuz they are trying to get rid of it.

But there is hope. getting rid of foriegn fuel getting your hitech jobs back. Changing the school sylabus and making kids learn more on science instead of learning some degree and work some odd jobs.

I am excited about 2008 cuz this onsalught these people bought would be over.

Answer 7

Has been worse in the past, but overall I think the middle class is really taking a beaten. The rich are not effect by high gas prices, etc. They have more money than they can count. The poor are subsided by the middle class so they don't feel it as much.

Answer 8

I am glad to see you asked for both conservative
(what do you think....) and liberal (what do you feel...) The economy is doing very well. Employment is as close to 100% as it could ever be. Inflation is under control. It is good.

Answer 9

It is doing a heck of lot better than the MSM lets you believe.

Answer 10

CLINTON PERMANENTLY DAMAGED ECONOMY
Near the end of his term he pushed the world to let China join the WTO. Both China and illegal aliens slow tax revenue growth. They are causing the lowering of family incomes for middle class Americans.

Because of Clinton, China's GDP is growing 250% faster than the U.S.'s. Goldman Sachs predicts China will replace the U.S. as the number one economic giant . (http://www.the-global-institute.org/act/2006conference/Linn%20-%20Economic%20growth.ppt

Clinton's biggest mistake was to permanently screw America by forcing the world to accept China into the WTO. That has caused a lot of bankruptcies, car repossessions, and home foreclosures across America.

Blame Clinton for China being in the WTO which is causing a record growing trade deficit. That trade deficit is resulting in the undermining of the middle class which is slowing tax revenue growth. http://graphics.jsonline.com/graphics/bym/img/mar06/CHINA24g.gif

I will first off say that Clinton was a good president. However, Clinton has seriously damaged the U.S. economy. Because of Clinton the trade deficit with China will top $1 trillion a year within 10 years. Clinton pushed the U.S. to agree to having China join the World Trade Organization. China is causing the loss of high paying U.S. jobs. And illegal aliens are undermining increases in family incomes. Clinton has caused China's economy to explode with growth and our trade deficit to explode. The HIGH OIL PRICES are due to China's growing demand for oil which did not exist ten years ago.
About Mexico: A non-biased report said illegal aliens take 1/3 of all new jobs created in America. That dilutes wages and puts Americans out of work. The real unemployment rate(u6) for the U.S. is running at over 7%.
