The national unemployment rate for June 2005 was 5.0%

And the deficits? When the trade deficit starts declining and the national deficit starts declining, then I'll believe.

Let's see economic growth such as people less out of debt and making more money instead of jobs leaving for overseas and people having to take jobs that pay less.

Then I'll believe the economy is in good shape.
