course to hear bush tell it you'd think all was peachy keen and on the rise. Just goes to show how much people still don't understand basic economics, they only hear the parts they want. And the good lines are "you are thinking too globally". Hate to tell ya, but nowadays that's how you have to think.
And Bush came into office with a democrat-created surplus. I just don't understand how the democrats get labeled "tax and spend" like it's an epithet and the repugnicans can practice "deficit spending" as much as they like and somehow they are more fiscally responsible and economic heroes. I just don't understand it. I'm really looking forward to the time when the whole shithouse comes down in flames, but I'm sure that will somehow be blamed on the democrats too and our TV fed zombie nation will believe it all the way down into the gutter. All aboard!
