Phenomenal economic turnaround in USA

[Montgomery Burns]

Within a hair of 5 million jobs created since Bush cut taxes 27 months ago

The emphasis that the mainstream media give to unemployment while a Republican is in the White House is directly proportional to the rate of unemployment. In other words, if the unemployment rate is very low, then coverage of the unemployment rate will be very low too — that is, when someone like George W. Bush is in power.

It’s time for the Bush administration to turn this thing around. We are currently within a hair’s breadth of achieving 5 million new jobs since the president’s tax cuts were fully implemented in May 2003. If we hit it this month, that would mean 5 million jobs in 28 months. When the new jobs numbers are reported four weeks from now, maybe it will be time for the administration to crow a little bit.

Nearly 5 million jobs in 27 months; unemployment rate has dropped to 4.9%; GDP growth has been fantastic; govt taking in record tax revenues.

Why won't Canada's Liberal Party cut taxes? No, I don't count dropping the EI rate from 1.98% to 1.95% a tax cut, nor do I call raising the inflation-indexed personal exemption $100 (resulting in a saving of $16 annually) a "tax cut" - like the liberal media dutifully called it.

Btw, one has to wonder if the liberal media in the US would be so silent if Clinton had achieved numbers like this. I think we all know the answer.

I wish we had a leader who says, "Doggone it. It's the people's money and they deserve to keep more of it."

I'm paraphrasing, but I saw Bush say something similar on TV a couple of years back - in response to a question from the always hostile liberal press.

Instead we get billions wasted on a gun registry, Kyoto junk science, national govt-run, unionized worker-staffed daycare centres, a billion dollars annually to a state-run TV station that churns out hard-left state propaganda on a daily basis, a refusal to legalize private healthcare which results in even more spending on the failed socialized healthcare system, and an expansion of unionized govt workers with bloated benefits which costs taxpayers more and more money.

Sensible Canadians demand to be given more of our money back!

After obtaining freedom 15 years ago, Estonia rapidly moved to establish a rule of law, protect private property and create a sound currency. Estonia removed most price controls, discarded useless regulations, privatized most state-owned enterprises and established a free-trade regime. The result has been the largest percentage increase in real per capita incomes of any of the former communist states.....

Former Iceland Prime Minister and current Foreign Minister David Oddsson detailed how he took a typical, economically stagnate, Scandinavian socialist welfare state and turned it into an economic tiger by privatizing state industries, freeing labor markets, and reforming the financial structure. Iceland has been engaged in a massive tax reduction (for instance, the corporate tax rate has been cut from 50 to only 18 percent, and the inheritance tax to a maximum 5 percent). Yet government revenues have steadily increased because of the resulting economic dynamism, and the national debt has fallen from 50 percent of gross domestic product to only 15 percent."

Bush proven right again; tax cuts work.

Hey Montgomery... check out this link to another forum... It says something a bit different from what you're saying, although I'm not sure you'll catch it...

Predicted Turn-Around in US Economy

Err, that's just more anonymous sources from the liberal WaPo, i.ei., it is probably a made-up story - National Enquirer style. I'm surprised you fall for stuff like this.

Treasury Secretary John Snow reportedly told congressional Republicans in a closed meeting

At a private dinner the other evening where many of the men and women who have steered economic and fiscal policy during the past two decades were expressing their alarm about this situation, one speaker summarized the feelings of the group:

"I think it's 1925," he said, "and we're headed for 1929."

I would suggest they don't take it in the first place. In fact the federal government should be stripped of all power to tax and have to have their budget approved by the provincial legislatures according to powers granted to it in the constitution.

What the hell do we need roads for... Any decent citizen can drive a big manly SUV....

PS. B. Max. In the United States, they don't have any provinces. They have states...

The US tried that in 1776 - it was a miserable failure so they rewrote thier consitution in 1784 to give the feds the power to tax. It seems to work for them.

The people think this way because the liberal press tells them the economy is weak, and because the president does not rebut the press - a big weakness in the Bush administration.
