"In the first quarter of 2006, the U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 5.3 percent, the fastest growth in 2.5 years. We added 5.2 million new jobs since August of 2003. The national unemployment rate is down to 4.7 percent. Productivity is high, and that's leading to higher wages and a higher standard of living for the American people."
I would say more about this, like 1.) more people, including minorities, own homes 2.) a higher percentage of people make over $50,000.00 3.) and that 5.3% is better than the average growth rate of the 70's, 80's and 90's, but what is the point. Most wont listen and the few people that would, already read this blog.

Heh, back to our phone conversation topic eh?
At least you didn't spin the good news as something bad, as the MSM is likely to do. As such:
"GDP is highest ever, but likely to fall."
No shit, dip-asses. It's just like saying:
"Giants win ten in a row. Streak not likely to continue"
Yeah, but what about the fact that our economy is doing really well? Of course if you are at the top the only way to go is down, but is that the right way to look at success?
