The Bush Economy Rolls On

From Nealz Nuze:

According to a Federal Reserve report yesterday, the net worth of U.S. households has skyrocketed. This confirms what many of us have been saying for quite some time: we are currently in an unprecedented economic boom. But don't tell that to the Democrats or the media...they're doing their best to cover it up. And they have good reason. If Americans really realized just how good they had it under a Republican president, they might not vote for Hillary Clinton. And the media won't have that.

But the statistics are telling. Personal wealth among American households spiked 2.5% in the last quarter. Added onto the entire year, that's a 7.4% net worth increase among families. This is huge. If the economy was as bad as the press wants everyone to believe, then how come people are getting richer by the day? All of this is happening despite a slowdown in the housing market.

It used to be said that people voted with their wallet. If the economy was good, the incumbent party and president were safe. Yet even the Republicans screwed that up in the last election. For some reason, they were drawn into arguments about Iraq and were unable to effectively trumpet their economic record.

Thanks to the Bush tax cuts, the economy is on fire. Happy days are here again. Just don't tell the Democrats.

Isn't it sad that we can't trust our news media to give us the news any more? Freedom of the press has come to mean freedom to report only what the Left wants you to know. How appalled our Founding Fathers would be to see what journalism has become. Every story has to be doubted, especially those coming from the AP and Reuters. Liberal editors seem to endeavor to make sure there is a negative slant to all things Republican...or they bury good economic or war news in the back of the paper and lead with pap like Anna Nicole Smith or American Idol. Conservatives are making inroads with talk radio and a few media outlets, but the liberals still have a chokehold on the majority of the news most of America pays attention to. We have a long way to go before this problem is fixed.

JASmius adds: Shhh! Don't say that where Hugh Hewitt can hear you; it might make even him cry.

This problem will never be "fixed," BTW, short of a comprehensive national disaster. If the past twenty years of talk radio and conservative magazines and books and the blogosphere and Fox News haven't made so much as a dent in the Enemy Media superstructure (and, all due respect to Double-H, it hasn't), nothing short of an economic collapse and/or a terrorist WMD strike (or EMP attack, which would accomplish both in one stroke) will bring about the level of sociocultural transformation that would be required.

Once President Rodham teams up with bigger Donk congressional majorities in 2009, the rollback of these "conservative inroads" will be a fait accompli. And the Enemy Media will be cheering them on, when they aren't busy suddenly rediscovering the booming economy and touting it as the "Hillary recovery".

I wonder if Rush Limbaugh will be incarcerated in Club Gitmo....
