GDP growth is not the only measure of economic prosperity. If fact it's not a particularly accurate measure. Check out jobless rates, hunger, and poverty indexes if you want a more complete picture. A guy at work is always hyping me about the rebounding stock market. When I ask him if he owns stock he shrivels, he doesn't. When high-paying middle-class jobs that provide for healthcare and retirement start to reappear I'll start believing in Bush's "economic vision."
