That's a highly questionable and likely bogus number that no one's accepted against the DNC.

It's obvious that the economy is roaring, and I expect by 2010 we'll be doing better than the 90s. Of course, Kerry's election could slow it down a lot, but I don't think it's going to happen.

Four years ago there hadn't been a recession yet (well, actually it was just starting).

Self-employment is being a bigger part of our economy. And I see that as a good thing.

If "cough cough" is to be believed, then they could very easily show up 1% unemployment.

Household survey shows net gains. Recession inherited.

Recession inherited.

I thought it was a "cough cough" survey. If that's the case, expect 1% unemployment.

Granted, you'd still whine that it wasn't counting people or whatever the hell.

Some say it started in March. Others say October.

It doesn't actually matter, because no Bush economic policy had gone into effect and anyone who watched the news knew we weren't in good shape heading into the election and beyond.

What's Clinton's company? He apparently has a lot of employees.

Republican presidents inherit recessions from Democratic presidents all the time.

The difference between 9/11 and Pearl Harbour is that Pearl Harbour damaged the US militarily, while 9/11 damaged it financially.


Iraq war is damaging US financially a lot more than 9/11.

No, it's not

I expect it to return to the mid-50s immediately following the election.
