You really don't know much about the economy do you. It's lagging, the
housing market is failing... many more poor and malnourished in the
country.

This is the only response you've made that I have any interest to take issue
with. Fact: the housing market in the Bay Area has tanked, but it was
artificially high to begin with. Here new home starts are up over last year
by double digits. Existing home sales are slighly off, but no moreso than
the normal fluctuation from quarter to quarter. Home prices have stayed the
same or increased slightly, while your Bay Area prices have fallen by 15% to
30%, depending upon whose reference you read. As for the poor and
malnourished, that's Dem spin. Unemployment is around 5% nationally, which
is essentially full employment. I know more about the economy than you,
primarily because I listen to economists, not Democrat doomsayers who will
say anything to make Bush look bad. I really don't know why they try so
hard--he makes himself look bad without their spin. They should sit back
and relax.


So, you don't read the newspaper or watch TV. Get all your news from the
Drudge report?

Nope. I just don't listen to the left-leaning Big Three, CBS, NBS, and ABS.
