Bravo Bravo BBGun and Sabre, well said!

I think what we have today is a fear that the economy and the jobs will increase during Bushs tenure, I do believe that people actually want it (the economic conditions and employment) to fail out of being purely self-centered because of politics. Sad isn't it?

I was getting that impression as well, Rip.

And though I think people on both sides of the aisle are still in fact people, I've never personally wished anything but the best situation for this country and it's people, no matter who sat in the oval office.

Exactly. At the same time, I would neither give Clinton credit for the tech boom, nor will I give George credit for the current ride up however its very debateable on how much the tax cuts did help boost the economy, I doubt it was a major contributor.

Sabre: Ignorant? Taking it personal now?

Sorry, I did not mean it as a personal offence. I used that word in it's original meaning - not posessing knowlege in some subject. In this case knowlege in austrian theory of the business cycle. Nothing to be ashamed of, sorry if I made that impression.

There is a distinction between artificial boom and real sustainable growth.

Rejoycing at the drop in unemployment without understanding it's causes is just like a person not familiar with medicine rejoicing the drop of temperature in a sick person afflicted with fever.
It may be real recovery or a person may be dying. No shame to make a mistake unless one is a doctor.

Sorry again.

Krusher: I just saw the same thing reported on ABC news.

The number who quit looking for work despairing of finding one and thus dropped from unemployment stats? That number is reported somewhere? That would be a news to me.

Agreed, Muck. I too want to see prosperity for my country, regardless of who controls what branch of the Government. Thanks for reminding us.

Miko: NP, I probably took your remarks too personal. Not saying the patient is fully recovered, just that the vital signs appear to be getting stronger. I see that as something to be guardedly optimistic about, as I said.

Jobs data, earnings lift stocks
CEOs see signs of recovery
Weekly jobless claims decline

These were the top three headlines on MSNBC.com's business section. Also I saw on cnbc today that EBAY hit pre".com bubble" HIGH, and Yahoo was up.

Of course its still all bushes fault so what does it matter....(sorry had to throw that in there)

More news you wont see...on the news...

you havent mentioned the fact that several posts mention this story all over the news. Reuters is carrying it, so AP probably is too.

revised alternate thread names:

"more news that will make the news...but its still bush's fault"

"tax cuts for the rich arent working....but the economy is coming back, for now"

"the economy is on the upswing.....now to the kobe case"

I know I'm a smart ass....but what can I say...at least a stronger economy is good for us all (cept a democratic presidental canidate) Oops i did it again
