Dubya needs to push another tax cut. Not because we really need it, but just to piss the liberals off.

(NYT: US Economy Flirts With Quagmire) But according to the NY Times, the economy hasn't been good under Bush. I guess they will revise that meme only if the economy actually starts to stagnate. Then they will tell us the economy was good, but faltered under Bush's leadership even though they've never admitted it was good.

Kinda makes you want to say, "as opposed to...?" doesn't it?

The one thing that can't be argued is that many Americans are absolutely swimming in debt. That is the only thing that scares me in today's economy.

I included that bit in the excerpt, because if you read the entire article it becomes obvious that the author hopes that this is just one of those times. "Things may look ok now, but hopefully there'll be a nasty recession soon, so we can get those idiot Rpublicans out of power and resume screwing up the nation/world."

Not since the early to mid-1990's has the wage loss been so broad. How did this slip in?

Actually, US economic growth under Bush has been almost the same as it was under Clinton, even before you factor in 9/11 and Katrina. And unemployment is lower. In fairness, the Times has never referred to "growth" under Clinton. In it's pages, it is always "RECORD growth."

The country as a whole is prospering. The 'wage loss' is in the dinosaur media. Less people want their product. Sucks to be them!

from the article....
"...to help sustain the robust expansion of the last 30 months."
AHA! Gotcha, the commie creeps.
The NYT has NEVER reported the Bush economy as a "ROBUST EXPANSION".

Show some respect here. The NY Times has predicted 5 of the last 2 recessions.

The New York Times is so inept. The real estate boom is a crutch? What the hell are they smoking? Its like saying that our economy hinges on Michigan or the auto industry, yet both are in shambles. The point is that the American economy is bigger than selling houses.
But I don't expect them to get it or any of the great economic news like the 5% unemployment rate. I expect an article by Paul Krugman calling for the elimination of the Bush tax cuts.

The economy depends upon businesses? I always thought it was the government that brought us all this wealth.

Poor MSM, it has taken them all of this time to come to the correct conclusion that the U.S. economy depends on how businesses do rather than government programs.

How stupid is this headline?
U.S. Growth May Hinge on Businesses I suppose the NYTwits think growth 'hinges' on governemnt spending or electing democrats?
Nevermind. Just answered my own question.
