The economy has been getting better for the last year. Economic expansion has been robust. Inflation, interest rates and unemployment figures are all looking good. OTOH, job creation has been slow. After the WallSt bubble busted, the nation went into recession and the events of 9-11 occured, employers have been extremely reluctant to engage in new hires. The figures released today continue this trend of a jobless recovery. Overall, things are looking good. The Bush tax cuts have made a significant difference in kick starting the US economy. But the business cycle is a more critical factor in how the US economy recovers from this downturn period.
There's nothing more annoying than someone with an agenda who pretends to be just some guy who wants "answers" when in reality he's only wanting to persuade people to his point of view. You don't want answers--you want something that you're not going to get; a different president in 2004.
