Some dimwits actually think that Chimp Boy's ridiculous and illogical tax/fiscal policies have been of benefit to the American economy, when the truth of the matter is the policies of his administration in this area have been a rather dreadful failure from the start. The economy has underperformed in terms of job generation since the day he took office: there haven't been enough jobs created in the past seven years to even accommodate those workers entering the labor force for the first time, let alone the people who were already working. As a result, there are millions of Americans who have been chronically unemployed during most of the past decade, and these folks aren't even counted as such. The government considers them "displaced" or "discouraged" workers, and drops them out of the statistical sample that's used to measure unemployment. So, the rosy unemployment figures touted by the Chimp Administration a few years back were total BS. Furthermore, with a most sluggish economy finally slipping back into actual recession, there's plenty of serious economic problems in place that the spurious JGA of 2003 failed to avert. Right now, the economy is in its worst shape in 30 years, and it's going to take several years of bitter medicine to turn everything around. In this, GWB will go down in history as the most reckless and wrongminded American President, in terms of economic policy, since Calvin Coolidge, and quite possibly, ever. But, what do you expect from a mental retard who other mental retards voted for?

Deceptively named like evrything he signs.

Since the second round of tax cuts unemployment has dropped from 6.6% to an historically low 5%. Our economy has added over 3.5 million new jobs with a sustained growth rate of over 4%. The stock market has recovered since dipping into a recession in early 2001 and though battling stubborn oil prices has continued to show growth through this year. Due to the increased growth projected budget deficits have been much smaller than expected coming in around 2.6% of GNP, historically very low and unheard of during war time. If Bush was a Democrat the mainstream press would be lauding him with praise and the American public wouldn't be being duped into thinking there's something sluggish about our economy- to the contrary Bush's economic policies have been a resounding success.
