Was it also a good thing when GDP growth went negative in the 3rd quarter of 2000? Do you cheer Presidents who leave messes behind for their successors to clean up? You must really love Herbert Hoover then, right? After an 8 year econ. expansion.......the longest since WW II........I would say Clinton did damn good. And as sure as my name is Mr. Wonderful, Mr. Bush didn't learn squat from Clinton. Not only are we in a war quagmire in Iraq, we are in an econ. quagmire at home. Thanks for the memories!

So by your reckoning (blaming Bush for a decline that started during Clinton's term), GB 41 must be given that credit for the '90s boom. Its 2004......4 long years under Bush......why are things still bad? Here's just one major state in the Union........Michigan. Detroit's unemployment rate is 7.3%; Flint 8.5%; Grand Rapids 6.6%; Jackson 6.7%. Where is the recovery dude? Where is the fukking recovery? ******************************************************* State's regional jobless rates rose in June The Associated Press 7/22/2004, 7:36 p.m. ET LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Jobless rates increased in nine of Michigan's 12 major labor markets in June as more people searched for summer jobs, state officials said Thursday.** The seasonally unadjusted unemployment rates increased in every region in the southern part of the state. Rates in the Upper Peninsula and the northern Lower Peninsula improved slightly or stayed the same, the state Department of Labor & Economic Growth reported. Bruce Weaver, acting director of the department's Bureau of Labor Market Information, said the slight jobless rate increases reflect the fact that more people were looking for jobs in June. Not all of them could find jobs, increasing the unemployment rate. mlive.com
