Certain liberals will find a way to disagree in the face of statistics, I'm sure.

If debt is good and you feel we are doing better just a little air is good before burying your head in the sand. You have to consider the small gains are just a drop in the bucket of need. It is more than Bush the Congressional folks are dragging their feet and yes Bush is Vetoing everything. It is always this way before the elections and the economy always stalls but this time is going to be the biggest stall for a long time. Just wait and see. I would not be spending all your savings or making big plans with your fortune just yet.

Does that mean our 9 trillion dollar deficit will get paid off? Or are they not taking that into consideration?

Yes, "the economy" will grow, but the only benefits will be going to the wealthy and large companies. Everyone knows that the lower and middle class have been stagnant if not worse since when Bush came in power.

Cite a study that shows the opposite and you'll have me supporting supply-side economics. Everyone knows it doesn't work- the rich get richer while the rest of America sees their buying power go down and inflation occur. Same thing at the end of the Reagan years. It doesn't work.

That is a mere prediction. Post this when the economy DOES get better. But until it happens, the economy is still fuc'ed and Bush is the reason.

They work in the short term, as did Reagan's policies....the problem is they lead to so much debt that someone ends up having to bite the bullet and raise taxes back up at some point to get us out of debt....then the cons b*tch and moan about it. I could live high on the hog off my credit card for a while, but eventually, you have to pay the piper.

Got the whole article? I wanted to see what it says about the deficit in China, the ongoing war in Iraq, the state of the housing market, and maybe something about what a recession looks like right before it hits...
It's good to know that some faith has been restored since the dems took control of the pursestrings...

Under President Bush’s misguided leadership, median household income for American workers has decreased by $1,300, with full-time workers suffering the most from these failed policies. Millions more Americans have also joined the ranks of the uninsured during the Bush Presidency. In 2000, 39.8 million Americans were uninsured, while that number rose to 46.6 million in 2005. [U.S. Census; Kaiser Family Foundation] Bush and his Republican allies have also refused to raise the minimum wage while voting to increase their own salaries. President Bush’s handling of America’s finances is not any better, having turned record surpluses into record deficits.

but wait, I thought the president was not responsible for the economy, or at least that is what I heard from countless bush supporters during the first few years of his presidency...
