unemployment....a nine year high..........let's see now, 2003 minus 9 years equals...... why it's June of 1994! Isn't that when America had the "greatest" president ever, and the best economy ever! Was the Clinton Administration juggling the numbers and cooking the books....YES! It got so bad, that even the Federal Reserve refused to use the Clinton White House numbers because they were so far fetched.

Bush 41 handed Clinton an economy in strong recovery, and the liberal media gave Clinton the credit. Clinton handed Bush 43 an economy in decline, and the liberal media blamed it on Bush 43. It's always the Republican's fault, no matter what.

Now, factor into that economy in decline;.....we are at war (and that is expensive), Clinton holdovers in the government are doing everything they can to sabatoge the economy (and also the war), congressional Democrats, under the direction of the Clintons, are fighting against Bush every step of the way, and the liberal media, of course, is blaming the Bush administration.

And, there are still sufficent numbers of Americans who continue to believe the liberal media, a media, by the way, that utterly refuses to admit it's bias.

You should have said an economy in declined combined with a massive terrorist attack that wreck havoc on almost every sector. It is amazing we are doing as well as we are, by that, still the best economic numbers in the world!

A large part of the problem arises when the Presidential candidate promises more than he can deliver. The biggest liar wins and then falls to task of explaining why it isn't his fault that the economy is going to h*ll. This is made possible by a public that is ignorant of all things economic other than his credit card.

Since the one-man one-vote, mob rule democracy, don't expect any improvement in the situation. There was a period of time in our Republic when it was recognized that government bills had to be paid. Now you just pass it onto your children and grandchildren and continue the irresponsible spending. When the economy fails to furnish the necessary profits to pay the bill, you have a tax cut to bribe the taxpayers to vote for you and get past the next election. Never mind that the next recession will be worse because of the deficit financing.

True

Now, factor into that economy in decline;.....we are at war (and that is expensive), Clinton holdovers in the government are doing everything they can to sabatoge the economy (and also the war),

It is 2003 over two years since GWB came into office can you or anyone give me a reason why these holdovers from teh Clinton years are still in office.

...congressional Democrats, under the direction of the Clintons, are fighting against Bush every step of the way, and the liberal media, of course, is blaming the Bush administration.

True.

And, there are still sufficent numbers of Americans who continue to believe the liberal media, a media, by the way, that utterly refuses to admit it's bias.

Also true

Those are among the reasons GWB needs to address the structural economic problems put in place by the Clinton administration. See my proposal above as to how GWB can effectively addres the economy. Now this may irritate some donors to his campaign but it is the right course to win because it gets Americans back working in high paying positions.
