SHOW ME THE NUMBERS, sissy.
The economy is getting worse and it will for quite some time. I'm not placing 100% of the blame on GWB (more of it goes to Republicons who shoved NAFTA up our hoo-hoos) but, face it (and you will), the economic situation in the United States is absolutely horrible. NAFTA and GATT are tearing the economy right off its moorings. Layoffs continue. Salaries are being cut right and left. And U.S. jobs are being given to workers in China and India and elsewhere faster than you can say, "Buh, bye." We're headed for Worldwide parity, income-wise, pal, so you'd better be socking some gold away while the dollar still has value.
And what does, "it's the technology stupid" mean? If you want to show me the economy has improved since GWB took office SHOW ME THE NUMBERS.
Until then, chew on this, "In 2008, the very first baby boomers turn 62, retire and begin collecting Social Security and Medicare. That's when we'll discover the truly destructive force of the Bush administration's ballooning budget deficits.
Until now, the largest deficit in American history was $290 billion, during the George H.W. Bush administration. This year, the deficit is projected at more than $450 billion. In 2000, the U.S. Treasury recorded a $236 billion surplus. That's a fiscal reversal of more than $680 billion in only three years. And it's going to get worse - projections for next year are already seeing a $475 billion deficit."
