Did you think you were going to get actual answers to this kind of question on Yahoo? I'm surprised the nazi administrators here at Answers haven't deleted this question and closed your account and sent someone to take you to re-education camp by now.

Its hot but not as hot as you!
It is so hot that the Chi Guy and others on the left do not understand that when you put you hand in the fire you get burnt. And seeing they live off of mommy they will never know just how hot.
It is so hot the left and I hate to say with some on the right want to give amnesty to many illegal aliens who would benefit some sectors of the business economy but hurt others. Also this is why unions want the low income workers in the hope of finding new members to fill their almost extinct ranks due to the much higher free market jobs that produce higher earners out of compotation. Many people have ventured out on their own and created new jobs and found it much more rewarding on all levels.
I like the fact that you still so much debate with solid info as this drives the left crazy when confronted with the truth. xo

War time stimulated economies are deceptive. Most of the job numbers have been low paying minimum wage or slightly better, hardly jobs you can live off of. And the record deficits Bush has rung up will cost future generations ten fold. That per capital income numbers you give are pure bunk. The average US wage earners gross income is down while at the same time the cost of gas, utilities, health care, housing, are skyrocketing. The average US working person is much worse off now than they were 6+ years ago.

It is interesting how Bush's all purpose tax cuts had little or not effect on the economy, but that Keynsian growth from massive deficit spending is all the cons can talk about now. I thought cons believed in small government (as opposed to the massive spending, not just on the war, of the Bush administration. I thought they believed in fiscal responsibility (although this was obivously naive after the crazed spending of Reagan) not in running record deficit after deficit. I thought they believed in the power of the supply side - not creating jobs almost solely through government expenditure as Bush has done. Most of all I thought they beleived themselves superior to Clinton - so it is particularly odd that they praise these moderate growth rates and acceptable unemployment rather than set the bar at the levels Clinton set.

Yes it is hot, but to say so is like looking at a face of a beautiful woman, whose 300 pound body of deficit undermines the obviously pretty face

Record DOW and NASDAQ--yeah, I'm sure those blue chip companies represent most Americans! Yeah, saving all that money on outsourcing and Chinese imports--I'd be surprised if these companies DIDN'T report record profits!!!

The American economy has been steadily losing ground to the Canadian economy ever since Bush came to power. The Canadian dollar has gained 20 cents on the greenback in 6 years.
That's how smoking hot the American economy is.

wow, an extra $672 a year. how much was a gallon of gas in 1999? bottom line, wages up 1.1% inflation (cost of goods to consumer) up 200%. what a beautiful picture that is! your numbers are manipulated and do not represent all factors.

Freezing cold.
Your lies don't change the facts.
Unemployment is up, incomes are down, the housing market is in the tank, etc.
Where did you get your misinformation?

It must be nice to have a sheltered life, but the truth is,
Bush is doing a great job at keeping poverty in the
U.S. hidden. Just like the thousands of draped coffins
you never see returning from Iraq.
It's disturbing how fooled, some of the people are.
