3. I'm unconvinced...
...for several reasons:

GDP is like "average tax cut", the numbers can be skewed far too heavily AWAY from working Americans to give the appearance of "good times".

It's not as if Bush hasn't had his "positive Iraq PR spin" fall flat on its face and he needs something else for positive PR. Not as if his administration hasn't lied about stuff for political gain...
