I don't think most people have to check the economic data to determine whether or not they personally are better off.

No but I don't blame that on the government or the president. That is MY job.

To CBS Market Watch:

I'm much better today than I was a few days ago with your network heading for the ash heap.

Yes! I own a home and live in the Free State of Montana now, thanks to George W. Bush!

Well I just have to think what if Gore would have won in 2000 and the answer are we better off today is just a resounding YES...

Heck yes!

I lost a bundle during the tech meltdown. It's just starting to recover now somewhat.

I don't blame Clinton and I don't blame President Bush. It's the market cycle and the big speculative blowoff.

No, everything sucks right now for me, but I'm not childish enough to project this into nationwide conspiracy against me like a lot of jerks I see. Life changes like the weather. I just hope the forecast for tommorrow is clear and sunny.

As for the problem of preexisting condition, Wyss asked: "Who's going to write a policy for Bill Clinton now?"

Does CBS even try anymore? Yeah, sure, Bubba's poor just like everyone else and can't afford insurance.

Whatever.

The real question is:

Are we better off than we expected to be under Gore?

Given how the Clinton-Gore admin failed to respond to
terrorism, the answer is not hard to figure out.

You gotta' hand it to SeeBS. It takes hard work to put an article like this together and make it this stupid. The headline asks, "Are you better off...", and then the first paragraph answers, "It depends largely on which economic data you use....

So, according to forgery central, you need data to be able to determine if you are better off or not. Their data, no doubt.

Gee, thanks Dan, now I understand that I have no brain and will consult your magnificant orginization right away next time a question comes up regarding my personal financial situation.

Maybe, maybe not...thanks to Osama bin Laden and his fellow-travelers.

But thanks be to Dubya...without him AMERICA would be much worse off!

I have my data on spreadsheets.

I'm up from 40% since 2000, well into seven figures.

However, I do not credit the Bush administration, but my own thrift and work.

Of course, a man of courage has chosen like minded men to serve this nation and we are forever grateful.
