[mdmc]

31. thanks for the updates

[SammyWinstonJack]

33. He's either a LIAR (heh) or DELUSIONAL!

[ProfessorGAC]

51. Liar!

The "good" economy, which is merely a "treading water" economy is due almost solely to the higher dollar flow through the energy sector and increased gov't spending of borrowed funds. About 88% of nominal growth can be assigned to these two factors. That would make the rest of the nominal growth less than one-tenth of what it was in the 90's.

If one then takes the total inflation value, including direct energy purchases, the real growth is almost zero.

So, he's a liar.
The Professor

[ProfessorGAC]

52. Double Post

...

[cynatnite]

25. I think he sprinted out of the room n/t

He did not serve himself very well.... not that I have a problem with that (heeheehee)

[Ready4Change]

He's spouting "shadow stats"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=827442&mesg_id=827442

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

36. Exactly! His figures on the economy are just as accurate as his

Intelligence on WMDs...and just as fabricated.

[Neil Lisst]

38. absolutely. Bush thinks you can tell a person with 106 degree temperature

they don't have a fever, and they'll believe you.

Americans are living this crappy economy. They know the jobs and hours and pay rates they're getting. Average doesn't mean shit to you if you're not getting your fair share.

[Kansas Wyatt]

50. Who wants to bet that his alleged jobs growth

Has a lot to do with the tax time of the year?

[harlinchi]

34. No questions were taken. He said, "Thank you for your time", and...

...then walked off. He made bland statements with no addressing of reality. This is the very sort of stuff that continues plunging poll numbers.

[rodeodance]

44. bet Josh Bolton just gave him the script to read and told him to dash out.

[Ecumenist]

53. Walked? I beg your pardon but he ran!!

The cameras couldn't keep up with him, he was moving so fast. As the saying goes, "feets, don't fail me now!" :rofl:

[Dawgs]

39. Did oil prices suddenly drop, cause if they didn't...

then the economy still sucks. Maybe he was only speaking to oil executives.

[rodeodance]

43. yes, there was art. on DU just a bit ago

[bvar22]

49. The Bush* Economy is GREAT.....

IF YOU ARE A FUCKING MILLIONAIRE.....
SUCKS if you have to work for a living, :(

The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.
