THE ECONOMY: "Ten Bullets" To Shoot Down The Democrats' Big Lie

self

[The_Macallan]

 
And all of this is in spite of the fact that GWBush inherited a recession from Clinton that officially started in March 2000 and ended in November 2001.

AND in spite of 9-11, which completely obliterated one the most important financial nerve centers in the nation and the lengthy squelching effect that it had on banking, insurance, the airlines, tourism, the markets and the rest of the economy including the job market.

AND in spite of waging two major overseas wars to overthrow two terrorist-supporting regimes.

AND in spite of completely revamping and reconstructing our national security and intelligence agencies to defend against constant domestic terrorist threats.

And yet we STILL have (as the numbers above show) after just three years of GWBush, a far BETTER economy than when he first took office.

But try telling that to a Democrat and you'll hear how GWBush "wrecked" the economy, caused a long and deep recession which ended with no jobs being created, threw 4 gabzillion people out of work, created a 10 trillion dollar deficit, gave tax breaks to the rich, stole from the poor, poisoned children, starved old folks, did nothing to fight terrorism and caused "the worst economy since Herbert Hoover". (psst... and whatever you do, don't mention "Carter", "malaise" or "stagflation" to them - that'll just make their heads implode)

Thanks for compiling this great info into one neat and tidy little package! I'm printing it out and carrying it in my purse. (grin)

There you go using facts again. Don't you know that liberals can't compete against this?

[AdamSelene235]

Homeownership rate is now higher than anytime in history.

Uh, no. The home indebtness rate is higher than anytime in history. American home debtors have less equity in their homes than any other time in recorded history.

5. Inflation rate fell more under GWBush than Clinton and is now lower after GWBush's 3rd year than Clinton's 3rd year.

What a joke.

[Reagan Man]

Nice presentation.

Bottomline. Bill Clinton didn't face half the challenges that PresBush has faced during his first term in office. Clinton climbed on the economic gravy train and road it to reelection. Bush has faced recession, national emergency and war. So far, a job well done. Bush deserves reelection.

If enough stupid Democrats believe and repeat a lie. Then enough stupid Democrats in the media will continue to repeat it.

How much stupidity will this propogate? We'll find out in November.

[Tempest]

Uhmmm equity is part of ownership. Regardless of how much is vested it still represents ownership.

This is a very important issue to address in-depth. I've talked with many people on the street around here. They all think we are doing terribly.

Outstanding post.

Employment Numbers (Total US Civilian labor force )

According to the BLS's site (pick the first series CES0000000001) the number of non-farm payroll jobs has decreased from 132.3M in 2001 to 130.1M.

That surprised me at first and so I went for another one, CES0500000001 "Total Private" and that went from 111.6M to 108.6M.

So now I'm desperately looking for a number that went up. And I did find one, series CES9000000001 "Total Government Employees" that went up from 20.8M in the year 2000 to 21.5.

Amen - I mean, that "US Treasury" place is soooooooo a Bush propaganda machine...unless the Libs are citing it as a source...

Furthermore, if they can't compete against something it's not fair. Why, oh why won't someone feel their pain???

[Jinjelsnaps]

Care to list your sources?

And nice Lib response: "what a joke" - say, are you one of Kerry's speech writers??

Homeownership rate is now higher than anytime in history.

That wouldn't have anything to do with the lowest interest rates in 50 years would it? You should put up another stat about personal bankruptcy rates too.

Ahhhh...crap!!! Something else I have to memorize. I'm getting too old for this stuff.

It was easier way back when to just comment on the liberal mindset moral meanderings.

Oh...yeah...that didn't work all too well......did it.

Ok!! I'm studying....dammit!!!

Take a look at "Professional and business services", "Education and Health Services" and "Leisure and Hosptility Services" and you'll see an increase of about 4 million employed in those fields from 2001-2004. That's a lot more than the 1 million-ish in gov't jobs.

[mtbopfuyn]

It's Bush's fault.

[Texas2step]

Take a look at "Professional and business services", "Education and Health Services" and "Leisure and Hosptility Services"

Oh, those aren't "real" jobs, don't ya know?

Actually, I'm one of those professional and business services that went from a corporate position that was downsized into owning and operating my own business. Thank you President Bush!

[BluSky]

Nice. Great layout of the facts.

I love 'bullet-ed' facts that hit the mark . . . dead-on.
