Thank you for commenting!

Wow, Sarooster, did you have kooka pegged on this! Great call, good buddy!

Cy, I'm in that boat too. But do personal economic problems mean the econmy is bad everywhere? Hardly. Go to my "Bush is an Idiot?" blog at http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight/s30, and read the entry for February 9, 2006 for some discussion of how and why I got into financial problems. Hopefully something there will give you some ideas for your situation.

Kooka, your wonderful spin is going to take more time than I have to refute, so quickly:

Stock market at five-year high: As in before September 11th took it down 1,000 or so points, as in before the Clinton recession (so named for being induced by his tax increases and the bursting of his economic bubble) had run its course.

Job creation - small business is the major job creation engine.

Real-tax income: The income goes up, so do the taxes. If the highest incomes are increasing, then so are the taxes they pay. You gotta problem wid dat?

Inflation: Wonderful, eloquent, highly educated, well-documented rebuttal. Taken verbatim from one of those economists' articles, I'm sure.

Tax revenues: I say so, and so does the evidence. It happened last year (see http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/13/business/13deficit.html?ei=5090&en=a410f8c74d4700a5&ex=1278907200&pagewanted=print) and it is happening now.

This is the only thing that could resemble a fact in your comment......

Sorry but this is a list of solid B.S.

You were talking about your list weren't you?

I know, any facts that disagree with the conservative B.S. can not be looked at. Everything I have stated here is 100% fact. Do the research, it is out there. Do not just take what Bush and his group hands out.

Are you an economist? Is writeroflight? How is it my facts are less true than your facts? My facts are more complete than your facts though, which I would think would give more relevance to my facts.

Several of my facts where found in articles written by economists. I wrote a post a short while ago that shows links to various article and gives the facts I have mentioned here. Check it out and learn the truth and stop sucking up the B.S. that Bush shovels out to you.

Too bad you did not give all the facts here

Stock market closes today at a five-year high

Wow, a five year high… Wait Bush ahs been running things for five years now. So it was higher before Bush came along then…

3.5% growth last year

Growth in what? And what was it down the year before that?

Five million new jobs created. Japan and the 25 European Union nations combined didn’t create that many jobs

You can create a whole bunch of jobs if you do not pay much for those jobs, and since the average income is not increasing as fast as inflation, Big Business can afford to cerate mere jobs since they do not pay much at all. Also, how many jobs have been lost? How many of those jobs are full-time and have benefits?

4.8% unemployment, lower than the average rate of the three past decades

That is still the dumbest piece of crap the conservative keep using. Is the average for this decade with Bush in charge lower than the average for the 90s? Sorry, but you can not take a one time number and compare it to an average for ten years. That is not how averages work you see. The best unemployment in the last ten years has been before Bush took office. That is fact.

Household net worth at all–time high

For how much of the population?

Inflation under control

Says who?

Real after-tax income is up more than 8 per cent per person in the past five years

Break that down to actual groups and you will see the lower and middle class are the one who are bring the average down, while the upper class is the group creating that average. Sorry but millionaires do not need 8 per cent more income (Or more) at the cost of ten working class.

Tax revenues are up

If you say so.

Home ownership is up

And so is home foreclosures. Should we celebrate that people are investing in more homes just so they can loose those homes?

Sorry but this is a list of solid B.S. that only picks and chooses what to look at and ignores the reality of it all and the big picture. It is just eh present conservative illusion and the more people who fall for that illusion the more dangerous it becomes.

Its not that they don't accept them, they ignore them! Their propaganda megaphone is in place, blaring that the economy stinks, we're losing in Iraq, run while there's still a chance!! A lot of Americans swallow that and if the Democrats manage to get control of the House this year, John Conyers will be chairman of the House Judiciary committee and we'll have impeachment proceedings against Bush! The Democrats have a score to settle!
