How would this affect the unemployment rate?
And I'm afraid President Bush "speaking out" about high oil prices isn't going to make any difference.
The truth is that we have the strongest economy in the developed world, despite what whiners on FR say.
I get your point...you're right, my assumptions about Americans having to work 2-3 jobs wouldn't affect how unemployment numbers are calculated.
I agree, too, that we have the strongest economy in a socialist world, but that isn't saying much, which gets to my original point: What is the dollar amount of Bush's tax cuts that are fanning the flames of this ferocious economy? (I think it's 79B$ out of a 279B$ plan.)

Does he have any ideas? When was the last time he gave you the impression he was aware of gas prices and is doing something about them?
