Worst economy since Hoover! We have no one to blame for this but Bush. And it didn't have to be this way ... John Kerry had a plan ...

Time to pull out the stale Leftwing "Yeah, buts"
Yeah, but it's jobless growth.
Yeah, but millions have no healthcare.
Yeah, but it's growth with low-paying jobs.
Yeah, but we put panties on the heads of male Iraqi prisoners.
Yeah, but blah, blah, blah

I was reminding Ben Jr. to remember just that. Too many Americans can't remember after just four short years how baldly the democrats lie.

While I do think the economy is on a good track, and I approve of Bush's tax policy... I'm not buying these inflation numbers anymore.
One of the nasty legacies of the Clinton years was a re-configuration of the inflation "market basket" concept that basically lets the OMB back into whatever inflation rate they need to show.
Now that SS and other payments are indexed to inflation, it is essential that inflation be shown to be low, so that COLA increases are minimized.
It's a racket.

There is no inflation. Food prices are up. Building materials are up. Fuel prices are up....nope, if you don't call it "Inflation", it doesn't exist.
To: conservativecorner
Lets see, the dollar is losing value because there are too many in circulation and that gives the lowest inflation since the 1960's?
That is right up there with being "kinda pregnant" and is semantically equal to the 60's slogan "Killing for peace is like fornicating for birth control"
Nice beat, but I can't dance to it.......

Core personal consumption expenditures inflation, excluding food and energy, the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation, was unchanged at a 0.7 per cent rate in the quarter - the lowest reading since the 1960s.
Yet all we hear is the threat of inflation coming back. The media is so silly.

Re: your tagline...if you are referring to Karl-Heinz Stockhausen, then they are all avant-garde composers (or whatever it was that they did, cause it sure didn't sound much like music...)

"Consumer confidence dropped last month, dragged down by concerns about the labour market, the Conference Board reported. Economists had expected an improvement following the strong October employment report. The Conference Board index has declined in each of the past four months."I don't understand. Is FT making consumer sentiment up? Job growth for October was excellent. If I'm not mistaken, November numbers haven't been released yet. So how exactly has consumer confidence been dragged down by concerns about the labor market? Sorry, I mean laboUr. Silly Brits.

Anyone know what GDP is? These articles always tell you how much it is up, but not what the total is. Sloppy work.

I wish the economy was growing as fast as the federal government. We'd be in really good shape then.
