1.) The Bush-policies-are-good-for-the-economy argument sailed 2-3 years ago. There's nothing Mr. Bush can do now that will erase the hole he's dug for America. About all he could do is wise up and stop digging, but that's not likely. 2.) The trade deficit improvement is transitory due to a decline in crude-oil prices in May. Since then, oil prices have shot to record highs. The rising dollar will also kill the decline too. However, it should be noted that the trade deficit needn't be bad in all cases. It's just that with Mr. Bush's policies, it happens to be a indicator of his failure. That is, the metric must be considered with all other "dashboard" metrics. For example, if your fuel gauge says "E" maybe you just need to stop and get more gas. However if your temp says "H" and oil pressure gauge is pegged, then "E" is pretty bad if you're responsible for the maintenance of the car. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:164650 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
