than ever before... jobs are being sent overseas at a record pace


low inflation

That is good

strong retail sales

at Wal-Mart?

more first time homeowners than ever
before.

which is also good, but one wonders if that includes all the speculators
driving up the housing bubble.

put a negative spin on the US economy right now.


How about... after 5 years, maybe Bush/Cheney & Co are actually doing a
little something right? Not much, but maybe in their remaining 3 years
they'll improve their record. One can hope... and it wouldn't be
difficult...
