Amen!
If I have learned anything in the past year and a half, it is to be patient and watch the Bush plans unfold. IMO, this will happen with the economy as well.
I couldn't help but notice as I listened to Rod Paige today talking about the victory for, and the importance of vouchers (way to go, Ohio!) in the Supreme Court, and all the talk that this was a big victory for Bush, that, in spite of all the talk that he had 'sold out' on vouchers, he had obviously not given up on them.
I believe that the end result of his 8 year administration will be progress toward Conservative goals that we have never seen in any previous administration.
I hope you are right about the economy. This is a tremendous topic right now. It has eclipsed the war on terror. People want to be patriotic and hope things will improve - they are being quite "stiff upper lipped" about it...but there are Many people hurting and seeing no hope of an improvement. We must initiate policies to Jump Start the economy - re: tax cuts - and regulatory cuts. Plus encouraging small business people - giving them a break. I KNOW this is a top priority with President Bush. None other than Karl Rove spoke to the Small Businss Association meeting. And I know they are trying to do things - in the background to help. But they need someone up front also doing some "jawboning"......or they will continue to be accused of ignoring the economy.
