Have you heard this line awkwardly repeated by Bush every time he speaks lately? Do you think perhaps he's trying a little too hard to assert this as an accepted truth? Me neither. So how should one respond?
You know what worries me? When Bush starts repeating the same line over and over. Every time that happens it turns out he's lying to us again. I don't know who his talking points coach is but they do an excellent job of telegraphing. Too bad I can't play them at poker!
Considering the recent release of this administration's multiple lies in a carefully documented way, it seems fitting that his latest phrase be added to the pantheon of misstatements. How might one go about doing that? Well, the possibility of a Google bomb has occurred to me whereby we could link the new phrase to the documented lies link. What do y'all think?
I truly want to believe that we do have a "fundamentally strong economy" but Bush's insistence of inserting this phrase EVERY TIME the issue of our current economic state comes up fills me with dread. According to Keynesian theory, in order to ameliorate a recession one first needs interest rates high enough to be cut along with a strong dollar to absorb the resulting devaluation and tax rates high enough to be cut so as to provide incentive for investment. Do we have that now? No. As a matter of fact we have a weak dollar, low interest rates, and slashed taxes compliments of our lovely movement conservatives. To compound our troubles, we've got a very expensive war and military, soaring trade deficits, lost confidence in American leadership, and a debilitating energy dependency.
So you tell me, do we Google bomb Bush's latest often repeated lie? Or alternatively, have you got a better idea?
