"The economy? I'm getting so tired of hearing this. The economy is BOOMING."
For shareholders. Until the next crash.
"Unemployment is virtually non-existent, if you want to work."
?Where you live?
"More people own homes than ever before,"
Maybe, but the population is growing.
"inflation is non-existent,"
Huge myth. It's rampant. look at housing and energy. The Fed juices the stats by not including those and others in inflation stats.
"the stock market is up," good.. "and even gas is down." good.
"If America considers THIS to be a bad economy,"
It is compared to the 1990's.
"They are in for a rude awakening when their taxes go through the roof,"
Yes, Bush's deficit spending splurges we will have to suffer for in the future.
"inflation heats up and business starts getting slapped with even more crap that caused them to run overseas in the first place."
They moved overseas to lower labor costs. If the crap was unslapped you know what business' would do? They would move overseas lower labor costs. Blame diversions are for the suckers.
Sorry but you are wrong. The economy that Bush inherited that was in recession after the dot com bust of the 90's and then made a roaring comeback after te 9/11 attacks is an amazing accomplishment.
I live in the south. Unemployment is low in the entire united states!
Considering that what we have had to overcome in the past six years, a war, a terrorist attack and the rest, we're doing fantastic.
Glad you are so happy, wait until you get your next tax bill.
UNemployment is at 4.4% this is far lower than the average over the last 30 years. It's amazingly low.

"If America considers THIS to be a bad economy,"
"It is compared to the 1990's. "
No, it's not. It's a better economy than the 'bubble' economy of the 1990s.
We have very strong economy that is benefitting all Americans, and it takes evasion of many economic facts to pretend otherwise.
