Hey GOP, The Ecomony is Great
You would think with all of the great economic news of late, the GOP and the Administration
would be saying something about it. Instead we get garbage reporting on the economy
from The
New York Times. Or, as Rush started calling them today The DNC Times.
I am with Larry
Kudlow:
Will someone please explain why the Bush White House and the Republican Congress
are not trumpeting this economic boom on a daily basis? Their polls are sagging, but
the economy is soaring. This simply shouldn’t be.If former President Clinton had overseen this economy, he’d have held daily Rose
Garden news conferences to mark the occasion. In fact, former President Reagan did
just that in the booming 1980s — he gave speech after speech touting the success
of his supply-side tax cuts. Yet President Bush seldom goes into the current economic
story, and when he does it’s just a mention.Why the silence? Even the media can’t keep mum about this economy: “Consumer confidence
is up as gas prices drop.” “New home sales hit record levels in October.” Business
capital spending is strong across the board. Core retail sales are surging.
This is a free market economy. The only reason that I can think as to why the Administration
does not get out in front of this, is because they know that the President really
can’t improve or degrade the economy, so why take credit or blame. However, if the
media and the democrats are going to blame the President for a bad economy, and
they are not going to give him credit for a good economy, he should go and take credit
for it anyway.
