I buy my steak at other groceries here in town that don't charge $6.99, $7.99, and $8.99 a pound for steak like Albertson's. And the steak is just as good! Since I live in ranch/cattle country, I object to paying outlandish prices for steak from Albertsons and it has nothing to do with the economy.Tell me about it...I went there a couple of times for single items (such as hubby's favorite Gatorade flavor) that I could not find at HEB, but I would not shop there on a regular basis. Albertson's went out of business here in San Antonio, they just couldn't compete with HEB. HEB has taken over five of the stores recently, although I think they may be spreading themselves too thin, their shelves are not as well stocked as they used to be, but that could also be due to lack of competition.

I meant the Kool-Aid line as a compliment - such blind dedication certainly is entitled to its own reward.

The Summit Session with hot links to the breakout sessions.....
On August 13, the President hosted the President's Economic Forum at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. The meeting brought together government policy makers, small investors, small business owners, industry experts, teachers, workers, business ethicists, union members, corporate executives, economists, business students, academics, researchers and others to discuss the fundamentals of the economy and the President's agenda to increase economic growth for the future. The President's Economic Forum featured breakout and discussion sessions on key economic issues. Each session involved approximately 30 participants with diverse points of view, panels and was chaired by a senior government official, and each panel included guest speakers with special expertise in the panel's subject matter. The President believes that economic freedom is the foundation for individual success and prosperity. Because of the resiliency and determination of the American people, our Nation is on track for sustained economic growth. However, the President will not be satisfied until every American who wants a job can find a job, and all Americans have economic security. The President's economic agenda invests in people by creating jobs, expanding opportunities to save and invest, providing a good education, and helping each American own part of the American dream.

An intelligent response to "we should be dancing in the streets?"
What exactly, in your opinion, might an intelligent response to your sarcasm be?
The economy is basically sound. The stock market has been in far worse shape, and anyone over 30 should not be worried. We are in a wartime economy, but it is stable.
And we have a President with an MBA who is trying to solve the problems in an intelligent manner.
As to the dancing in the streets part........I am very proud to be an American. I am thankful to a Sovereign God for blessing this nation with great riches and resources, and am thankful that the 8 years of degradation with an amoral, unprincipled, dangerous president are over, and that we have a man of integrity in the White House.
So I guess I am dancing in the streets...............and I still wonder if you're ever happy.

I'm sure you two are having fun, but the Kool-aid, and "kneepad" insults are out of line, in addition to being ridiculous. So cut it out.
There is no blind loyalty here..... only honest respect for a man who is serving his God by serving his country to the best of his ability, and is doing so with integrity and honor. If that's beyond your ability to comprehend, too bad for you.

"....we have a President with an MBA..."
Boy, that makes me feel better - but then again we have high school graduates that can't read.
Is Grad school now a prerequisite for running a country - it sure isn't one for running a company - they don't even teach you how to cook books at those institutions anymore

If I'm going to pay 8.99 I may as well throw in 4 bucks more and buy it at the restraunt where they will cook,serve and clean up after me.

"I think about how people in Crawford look at Wall Street and the numbers," said Bush, whose ranch is about 25 miles west of Waco. "And one of the things I hope that comes out of this discussion is how do we simplify the numbers so that people can understand what they're looking at." He should be talking about government numbers. Nobody can figure them out. He should end withholding, and require people to write monthly checks for their taxes, so they'll know how badly they're getting raped by the government.

George W. Bush's MBA was earned over thirty years ago. What they teach in "those institutions
anymore" is irrelevant. A graduate degree from Harvard in business is significant, as is experience in running a company, and being a Governor of a large state.
President Bush is more qualified by education and experience, to correct the economic problems in this country than any past President has been.

You're kidding yourself if you think this "economic summit" is anything other than a PR maneuver.
What policy is being made here? You must realize every participant has been vetted and chosen for a reason...this is no random sampling of Americans.

Stock market has been in worst shape, true, the stock market isn't that bad, it hasn't crashed yet.
We are in a wartime economy - is that the reason Bush is cutting taxes for the wealthy?
Don't they usually raise taxes in a war?
ROTFLMAO
