The economy grew at a 7.2% annual rate last quarter. Fastest rate since 1984. Sorry anti-Bush people!*

Hmm... it'll be nice to see if it lasts, or if that increase will be able to dig the economy out of the hole Bush has already stuffed it into.

So by this statement Bush is single handedly responsible for an economy that is “Growing fastest it has in 20 years” not “strong” (that means when you go from 0 to 60 you are growing fast) but when it comes to terror attacks, finding security leaks, WoMD, Osama and Husane the blame needs to be spread around to advisers and cabnet?
Riiiight.

No, it means that the worst thing against Bush was the economy. His approval rating before this announcement was stronger than Reagan's at this point in his presidency despite the situation in Iraq. I'm getting a video game!

Your "Ivy League" school needs to edumacte you. Bush didn't stuff the US economy into a hole. Nor do I think he turned it around. But so you get your facts straight, the 6-month recession began before he took office, k?

The Fed is probably most responsible for the recovery. Thanks to low rates & people taking money out of their houses & spending it (Home Equities)

No I didn't. I implied that good economies work in favor of incumbent presidents.

The economy has NEVER not grown in the 3rd year of a presidency. NEVER. Why? Because all the disgustingly rich people that the president helped to evade taxes and repress the masses calls in favors. All these people with billions upon billions in assets splurge in the third year, dumping out big fat wads of cash into the economy, making it grow. Think there is no coincendence that the economic growth of this quarter is the biggest since 1984, the year of Reagan's reelection? Probably because the same f*****g GOP heavyhitters coffed up the cash this time around too. Evenmoreso however, because there's so much anti-Bush sentiment right now that they know they've gotta pay up or else it's no more Texas justice in the white house. That means no more free rides on April 15th for the unfathomably rich that would rather stuff their money up their ass then pay their fair share to help society as a whole.

lol...the economy shrank 0.5% in Bush Sr's 3rd year. Clinton's first 3rd year had only a slightly higher growth rate than Bush Jr's 2nd year. Your theory is more than inaccurate...it's retarded.

Sorry, I'm booked for the night. I'll be spending my time writing about why S. Weir Mitchell was a curse to women, or something like that...
Making love sounds like much more fun though, if that's any consolation.

When the Economy is not in a Keynsian Demand Deficit Slump, increses in GDP which are less than increases in Government Spending in the National Accounts of a country indicate a negative growth trend. Discuss.
