Unemployment is low. Taxes are down, not up. Inflation is low. Overall employment is at record levels. Payrolls, salaries, and wages are all up, too.

In contrast, you got *all* of the above wrong. You just batted zero.

LOL. That's what one gets for using the plight of GM as a sample-set.

No. Government employment is up, and they are doing well enough to offset the losses in other sectors.

Bush cut some taxes, others went up. Other increases in federal, state and local taxes more than offset the child tax credit which is the only tax cut most families have seen. The overall tax burden is higher each year because government spending keeps increasing regardless of which party is in power.

Yes, but the delivery is polished.
