Bush says economy sound; mum on stimulus plan

By Jeremy Pelofsky 2 hours, 58 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -..................
"This economy of ours is on a solid foundation, but we can't take economic growth for granted," Bush told reporters after meeting with his so-called Working Group on Financial Markets. "If the foundation is strong, yet indicators are mixed, the worst thing that Congress can do is raise taxes."
................

Investors were eagerly awaiting any word on what the White House had in mind to help the economy after Bush said in a Reuters interview on Thursday that his administration was considering whether to craft an economic stimulus package.

Bush had said that he probably would not make a decision until his State of the Union address to Congress on January 28. He has been pressing lawmakers to make permanent tax cuts put in place during his presidency.

"We are listening to a lot of good ideas from different people," Bush said in the interview. "We've got our people out there carefully -- not only monitoring this situation -- but listening to ... possible remedies."

6. *His* Economy Just Fine

He's made so much money from his tenure...if not in actual dollars then in future payments. You know he's gonna wind up sitting on some big-money boards that owe him for their tremendous fortunes from no-bid contracts and betting against the dollar.

7. Yah, well if Boosh says so then it's hunky dory I suppose.

He is really being truthful because when he says "this economy of ours" he means himself and people like this:

9. Bushie Stimulus Plan: More looting, more crushing of the Middle Class

more concentration of money "into higher, tighter, and righter hands".

More preparations for the Bushitarian Police State that must protect the Busheis and the Minions when the people have been crushed into dogshit.

10. The German business report just said the US is heading into recession.

Objective analysts or GW Boosh??

11. Another tax cut for the wealthiest .01% should really prime the economic pump.

[MadMaddie]

12. Stimulas plan...Blowjob what?

someone should be Impeached...for giving the US a pearl necklace?

Whaaaaaaaaat?

[cliss]

13. "Bush is mum on stimulus plan**"

** hint: that's because he doesn't have one.

The US economy is set to crash. They are struggling, swimming against the tide, trying desperately to HOLD OFF the crash which is coming. Kinda like propping up the Hoover Dam which is cracking.
If they can just hold out another year....
...they can shift the blame.

But they can't. According to reports, there will be around 2 million homes moving into foreclosure around March of 2008. Not a thing they can do about it.

14. no substantive questions from the Corporate Media Establishment

15. Boosh "stimulus" plan

Give the powdered and pampered aristocratic class even more, I mean, it has worked so well since St. Ronnie started it with "trickle down" economics....if they can just get a little richer, surely, we'll all benefit from it this time....:sarcasm:

16. Translation: "We're going to keep the economy propped up with fake numbers and your tax dollars

until the Democrats win, and then we're pulling back the curtain to reveal that it's all a facade. Then we'll blame the Dems for the whole quagmire as it spirals out of control."
