President Bush today said he "likes" the economy, do you?

He is a most amazing fellow. Well, he announced it from the Rose Garden, so you can bank on it.



No matter what happens, he will never need to worry about it. Things are good down in Crawford, no sweat.

President Bush today said he "likes" the economy, do you?
Only one so sheltered from the public could make such an ignorant quote.



When do you think was the last time GWB dug into his pocket to pay for a gallon of milk?



The fact remains that by signing every spending bill to cross his desk, Bush is responsible for a 40% increase to the national debt (up to $9 trillion dollars now) and the value of the US dollar has dropped 35% since he took office.

Reply:Do I like the economy? Sure. I can't complain; it doesn't do any good and no one listens.

But, hey, since I earned an M.S.B.A. degree from Boston U, I feel safe in saying that the economy is MUCH BETTER NOW than under his predecessor.
Reply:Of course he likes the economy, his friends and family are making a fortune as my gas, insurance, electricity, groceries, mortgage, interest rates, medicine and etc., are going up, up, up.



Yes, I'm employed and my paycheck has increased (very slightly) in the last six years, but my bills have skyrocketed.Six years ago I could pay all the bills with three weeks worth of paychecks, now it four weeks and some overtime to pay the same bills. And Jr.s little $300 tax rebate was immediately offset by a $500 increase in local taxes to make up the difference......But, things are always good in Crawford.
Reply:Don't you think you are over simplifying his comments just a little bit? Well, no I doubt it will hurt him personally, nor will it hurt, Gore, Clinton (either one), Kerry, etc. But quite honestly, my husband and I are doing just fine. I worry about what may happen with a Democratic President, but am sure we will survive. Thanks
Reply:he likes the economy because he makes things hard for everyone especially the middle and working class individuals
Reply:Gas prices stink. Prices in general have gone up, so has unemployment. Many jobs have been outsourced to other countries. Overall its not the government's fault, but rather corperations, imho
Reply:Yes, I am glad to see our President Bush defeating the liberal middle class. He will defeat liberalism in America even if the economy has to go into a Depression. Goodbye lib middle class filth. Eat cake.
Reply:Of course Bush likes the economy. Him and the rest of the 1% who actually own America.
Reply:I think the economy is going down the drain and he knows it.

In politics, by repeating a lie often enough it becomes a truth in peoples minds.

Reply:He's delusional....
Reply:No, I don't. They have done studies which prove that we make over 80% LESS than our parents did in 1970! This is based on the rate of inflation and increase price of products such as food.



When ever I hear Bush say something I think the total oppiset.

Reply:Its made me a lot of money....and it has been great for 6 years now....lots of jobs ,...and low interest rates....



You sound like you sit around all day listening to the liberal news media.....you'd ahve to get a job to know what I'm talking about.
Reply:Yes, I like the economy. I bought a house I can afford and I have a good job. If people would learn to live within their means, they would like the economy, too.
Reply:We've had a very good economy over the last 5 years or so. Last 2 quarters, the real GDP has grown at very good rates of 3.8 and 3.9% respectively.



We now have twin challenges that are going to slow the economy down. High energy prices and the whole housing slump / mortgage defaults / credit crunch.



There is no doubt in my mind, these two items will slow our economy by 2% to 2.5% for the next 6 months at least. We'll still have growth, but it will be slow growth.



It's not going to be a big crisis, but it will definitely be a slowdown.
