According to John Snow, the Treasury secretary, the global economy is in a "sweet spot." Conservative pundits close to the administration talk, without irony, about a "Bush boom." Yet two-thirds of Americans polled by Gallup say that the economy is "only fair" or "poor." And only 33 percent of those polled believe the economy is improving, while 59 percent think it's getting worse. Is the administration's obliviousness to the public's economic anxiety just partisanship? I don't think so: President Bush and other Republican leaders honestly think that we're living in the best of times. After all, everyone they talk to says so. Their optimism is fueled by the likes of Larry 'Buttlow', GOP economist extraordinaire, who predicted the recession was over repeatedly for two years before it actually was over. When you deal with the upper classes, you have no perception of the pain the lower classes are feeling. And the GOP is nothing if not upper class. Hopefully, Americans will wake up to the mess they put into power. ted
