Attention Democrats, take off your blinders, as a news junkie all I hear from liberals is how Bush is destroying the economy. 911 isn't even an economic factor for you, as Bush can't be blamed for it although some have tried.

In 1997 Alan Greenspan warned investors of irrational exuberance and we didn't listen. Early in 1999 Alan Greenspan started raising interest rates to slow the economy down, an attempt to arrest inflation. Unfortunately this coincided with the price of oil tripling. This spike in oil prices would have slowed the economy without Greenspan's help and vice versa. We got double wammied. Hence the recession that started in March 2000, nine months before Bush took office.

911 t-boned a struggling recovery and sent the airline and travel industry for a tailspin. Oh anthrax remember that, I don't think that helped the economy either.

Liberals hate big business, attention Democrats, without big business we would be Mexico. Big business is big because they create so many jobs. Big business wants to be bigger so they can create more jobs. Let's accommodate business large and small not cripple them. It is unimaginable that criminal CEO's confided in Bush and Leiberman what felonious flakes they were while contributing to their campaigns.

The rust belt of the northeast missed out on much of the prosperity of the 90's because their strong unions protected unproductive ways of workers who earned top wages, consequently the engine that drove their economy, big business went elsewhere.

Democrats are socialists but most don't realize it. Never has there been a social(ism) program you didn't like i.e. socialism security, socialism medicine, etc. Just a reminder, socialism and its big government have broken the bank everywhere it has been tried.

The resiliency and optimism of the American people have negated many of the ill effects of the obstacles mentioned above. Lets quit putting forth imbecile's arguments and lies against our leader and quit talking down the economy. Pessimism is contagious and dangerous when our countries financial well being pivots on consumer confidence.
