The U.S., last time I looked, which was today, had the highest personal income levels of any country in the history of the planet every month in 2003. It has an unemployment rate lower than most countries, and lower than it has been in the U.S. for about half of the past three decades. You'd just never know it from reading some of the posts on SI. Most of this is untrue, and ironically this is the very argument Alan Greenspan tried to put forth when he was attacked by Congress a few months ago. I will try to find the transcript online somewhere and post. I can see that there are Bush supporters here, mostly men and some women most of whom are not working and trying to hire folks. This group seems to support Bush. When I read yahoo stock threads, which I try not to do but from time to time there is some information there, it is post after post of Bush-hating. There is a definite large constituency (I am one) who think that Bush is one of the worst presidents we have ever had. It isn't that things are so bad now, it is the concept of where we came from vs. now and the disastrous Bush decisions that got us here. Anyway we will see who wins in 04, I doubt the polls can predict anything meaningful, and I suspect things are sitting about where they are right now in terms of economy and Iraq so what we have is what we have.
