GNP is not a good way to measure the economy. WARS, diseases and disasters can increase the GNP. I would take a look at your spending and how far you are going in the red because Bush hit a home run in the red. This will affect future generations. I posted an article on on GNP while back. An increase in GNP is not always a good thing. Actually it may have been the GDP? Whatever, if you go so far in the red and believe everything is peachy you are in for a rude awakening.
If you were just a bit older you might recognize your economic disaster claims are EXACTLY the same ones President Reagan had leveled at his policy of being tough with the USSR....everyone said he would start a Nuclear war and that he would ruin the economy....and instead he won the war and had an economy that sustained the longest period of economic growth in history...and as history has shown...we are doing quite well judging by the number of SUV's and $40,000 cars I see on the road..
edit: As for Ducking the issue...you did just that. What JD said had everything to do with our current GOOD economic indicators. ALL of the same ones used by the Liberal Democratic side of things are still showing records on the good side [img]smile.gif[/img]
