| #24 "Your all a waste of US tax payer money" 1. I pay more taxes than average. 2. I wish your thinking was better than your spelling, but I doubt it is. |

| #17 On the other hand, I sold all my shares in a S&P index fund last month when it finally crawled back up to the level I bought in at, way back in January 2000. I thought I'd quit while I was even. |

| #16 I actually got to comment to Reich on a radio show, pointed out why we don't need national health care, his response to my email was Britain has improved in the last 1-1/2 years..... OK, what about the other 40-odd???? |

| #10 Inflation under 3%? Check Interest rates steady and historically low? Check Unemployment below 5%? Check Job creation of over 6 million? Check Home ownership up across the board? Check Taxes down, take home pay up? Check Real Wages increasing? Check GNP up? Check Productivity up? Check Wall Street at multiple record high? Check And ALL that while running a war? Check! Of course he says the economy has gone to shit -- it's a socialist's worst nightmare! |

| #9 Good point Steve. When one is standing in the unemployment line and no one will even talk to them, it is true that things have gone to shit. Why are the rest of us happy?? |

| #8 Ain't Reich the one who tried (and failed) to get the Bush administration to intervene on behalf of Enron, and stretch out the suffering until a new batch of suckers was found? |

| #7 OldSpook, you forgot one important variable: the newspaper industry is going to hell thanks to the competition from the web (and because no one believes the MSM anymore), so all the journalists naturally believe the entire economy is in the toilet. Easy mistake to make, no? |

| #6 Inflation under 3%? Check Interest rates steady and historially low? Check Unemployment below 5%? Check Job creation of over 6 million? Check Home ownership up across the board? Check Taxes down, takehome pay up? Check Real Wages increasing? Check GNP up? Check Productivity up? Check Wallstreet at multiple record high? Check And ALL that while running a war? Check! OK what Riech means by "shit" is that its an economy that's working as well or better than under Clinton, but is not being run by his political cronies. Thats one of the big injustices of the modern mainstream biased press: that you have NOT seen that checklist brought up when talking about the economy. Any decent respecter of fact would have bitchslapped Reich with the facts after such a stupid statement. ON the front page of all the US Newspapers, demonstrating how much a fool he is. Its a shame our press has sold its role in being objective reporters of fact to the American Nation in favor of their lefty politics. The press has abdicated thier responsibility - they should be thrown in jail for their treason and replaced by people willing to do the job with NO idealogical tilt. |
