First, if you call having to work 2 or 3 jobs at wages that 10 years ago were laughable economic recovery, then I guess Bush has done a semi decent job.

Secondly, what good are his tax cuts doing when states are having to raise thiers and school districts and cities are in disarray trying to raise monies to keep running?

Sure Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, the Walton family and so on are reaping benefits from taxcuts, but it's not helping the average citizen.

Wal-Mart still have (what 29-30 states) atty generals going after thier wage and hour practices. Wal-Mart still puts companies like Rubbermaid out of business because they refuse to sell the product unless the company gives Wal-mart concessions.

We're still losing jobs overseas. Factories are still being closed down or on hiring freezes. Those that are hiring are paying TEMP services so they don't have to pay benefits.

Healthcare is still unaffordable to those without insurance and barely affordable to keep if you do have it.

Products maybe not going up in price but the quality is going down because companies choose cheaper labor and supplies.

Yep, we are in econmoic recovery all righty, we have become a shop at Wal-Mart country that has totally gotten away from small business.

Until small businesses start popping up and companies have ties to regions again we are doomed economically. The rich will continue to own 95% of all wealth and there will be no middle class.

It's funny the man who has Teddy Roosevelt's picture as his avatar is pro big business when it was Teddy Roosevelt that brought about the anti-trust lawsuits in the early 1900's. It was Teddy Roosevelt that developed the national park system that the GOP today is destroying with thier cuts.

It was Teddy Roosevelt, who worked to change labor laws, started legislation for unions to be legal, and so on. The very things the GOP today despise. Teddy, I'm sure would despise what his party has come to today.
