But according to the NY Times, the economy hasn't been good under Bush. I guess they will revise that meme only if the economy actually starts to stagnate. Then they will tell us the economy was good, but faltered under Bush's leadership even though they've never admitted it was good.
The one thing that can't be argued is that many Americans are absolutely swimming in debt. That is the only thing that scares me in today's economy.
Actually, US economic growth under Bush has been almost the same as it was under Clinton, even before you factor in 9/11 and Katrina. And unemployment is lower. In fairness, the Times has never referred to "growth" under Clinton. In it's pages, it is always "RECORD growth."
"Then they will tell us the economy was good, but faltered under Bush's leadership even though they've never admitted it was good."
Sort of like the way the liberals refers to the wonderful solidarity, consensus, and resolve against the Soviet foe that "we" all shared during the cold war, in contrast to the divisive atmosphere created by Bush?
