1. things are getting better...

Now I wish to present to you the evidence that the measures and the policies of the Republican administration are winning this major battle for recovery, and we are taking care of distress in the meantime. It can be demonstrated that the tide has turned and that the gigantic forces of depression are today in retreat. Our measures and policies have demonstrated their effectiveness. They have preserved the American people from certain chaos. They have preserved a final fortress of stability in the world.

Recovery would have been faster but for four months of paralysis during the spring months while we were defeating proposals of the Democratic House of Representatives.

4. It's no secret. It's out in plain view - military spending.

6. nope...

I do a lot of work in the defense industry and there are no contracts. Military spending is up but it's going to halliburton so it can hire 3rd world people in Iraq and make bundles off of them.

7. Correct. As I said, military spending is up.

Increased military spending that goes entirely to Bush and his cronies is still increased military spending.

The fact it is going to Halliburton does not make my statement false.
