President Bush's Actions Fuel Recovery III
Man oh man, what is a liberal to do? Our economy gets better quarter after quarter, month after month! Some people believe that a President does not have a large impact on the economy, but I continue to see liberals trying to blame Dubya for any bad economic news. This conservative thought I should give Dubya credit where credit is due.
From
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040520/nyth086_1.html - Conference Board Economist Ken Goldstein: "The Leading Economic Index remains on an upward trend, suggesting continued strong economic and job growth through the third quarter.
From
http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news...TVw&refer=home - May 20 (Bloomberg) -- The index of leading U.S. economic indicators rose 0.1 percent in April as stock prices, Treasury yields and money supply rose.
From
http://www.georgewbush.com/Economy/ - April’s increase in employment remained strong and well in excess of market expectations. 288,000 net new jobs were created in April – and February and March increases were revised upward, for a combined upward revision of 66,000.
The household survey showed a similar increase in employment, up 1.3 million since August.
The national unemployment rate edged down to 5.6% in April – falling 0.7 percentage points from its peak of 6.3% in June 2003. At 5.6%, the unemployment rate is below the average of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
Manufacturing employment increased 21,000 in April, and was revised up for February and March. Manufacturing employment has risen for three consecutive months. These were the first gains in this sector since July of 2000. ( Clinton was losing Manufacturing jobs before Bush? )
Over the past year, the unemployment rate has fallen in 44 of the 50 states.
Weekly unemployment insurance claims have fallen to their lowest level since 2000.
With only about 160 +/- days before the election, I believe the Dems are running out of things to complain about.
