Thomas, Bush drove $1 trillion out of the stock market, on purpose. He drove recession expectations way up during his first three weeks in office. He belongs in jail for racketeering: POLL RELEASES February 8, 2001 As Bush Unveils Tax Plan, Americans Increasingly Jittery About Economy Two-thirds of Americans think the economy is "getting worse" by Wendy W. Simmons GALLUP NEWS SERVICE PRINCETON, NJ -- President George W. Bush has been setting the stage all week for the official presentation of his tax cut to Congress, a major promise from his presidential campaign. If it becomes law, Bush’s tax cut will be the largest since Ronald Reagan’s cuts of the 1980s. Proponents of the large tax cuts argue that the sluggish economy needs a jump-start, while critics of the cuts assert that spending money on large tax cuts will jeopardize the federal budget surplus and risk the long-term financial health of the country. One thing is clear from a new Gallup poll conducted this past weekend: the public is increasingly likely to perceive that the economy is getting worse, not better, and a significantly smaller number of Americans are willing to rate the economy as excellent or good than was the case as recently as three weeks ago. In Past Three Weeks, Perceptions of Economy Have Soured According to last weekend’s poll, 51% of Americans rate the current economic conditions as excellent or good -- down from 67% who gave the economy positive ratings just three weeks ago. Forty-nine percent of the public currently gives the economy either an "only fair" or "poor" rating, up from 33%. gallup.com Scumbria
