What we'll find is a steadily improving economy. Improving from the RAPID DOWNTURN that started BEFORE Bush took office. The economy was in full swing when Clinton took over and stayed strong on its own momentum for a while, but the social programs and increased taxes to pay for them took it's toll and it came crashing down.

The typical liberal socialists whose mantra is "Bush out at all costs" seem to have it in their heads that the gov can just "print more money" and we'd ALL be rich. No kidding, I actually had someone tell me this! They also argued that we incarcerate more of our population than any other county, then proceeded to say Saudi Arabia has the lowest. Thank goodness I could point out that in Saudi, you rob/rape/steal from someone only once - then chop, chop square. They just didn't get it.

The economy still sucks. The loss of the trade towers took more than war funds from us, the loss in business was in the trillions. I'm surprised we haven't seen another great depression to tell the truth.

Of course...., there's still time....
