The Bush Economy
Just keep telling yourself that the economy is "robust" or "strong" or "red hot" or whatever everytime the Dow drops 199.15 points or 1.77% like it did on June 5, 2006. I'm glad I'm not part of the ownership society. Oh wait, my "retirement" fund at work is socked away in the stock market, shit. In that case, I hope Uncle Karl and Bid Daddy Cheney are thinking up a way to silence Fed Chairman Bernanke or at least get him to start reading from the script.
Once people really start realizing that they're paying "78 cents a gallon more" for gas than they did last year, the economy will really heat up. It took real leadership to push through all those tax cuts to help small businesses buy gas guzzling SUVs instead of promoting the use of hybrids or investing in alternative fuels. There's nothing like good leadership with vision and all that stuff. But hey, how many countries can say their Dear Leader looks so butch in a flight suit?
