Let's face it. The poor get poorer. The middle class is slipping deeper into debt. The upper class are next to fall. Finally, the top 5% of the wealthiest in our nation are rapidly widening the gap. Let me remind you, the Bush family is part of that class.

American economy is declining? I am not sure. But the currency of this nation is still influencing the world's economy because quite a large proportion of internation transactions is based on US money. Once some thing goes wrong with this currency, the world will be in trouble. At least the rate of unemployment will get higher in many Asian nations. As a citizen in Asia, I wish all Americans earn more money and lead better lives because if they are rich, they may spend more of their income on products from our countries. As a result, we may enjoy a better economic growth.

Damn right it's declining. Housing prices are dropping. We import more than we export. Gas prices remain fraudulently inflated. The dollar is weak amongst the other major trading countries. This I know. I sell rare and antiquarian books around the world. What you say about Americans having more liquid money to spend on foreign products is true. The less we have the slower developing economies are. So let's hope nothing else goes wrong. I'm not very optimistic though.

By belief is that the economy is suffering and that Bush was doing what politicians do. He was speaking political double talk. He didn't mean the entire economy. He simply meant the economy of the wealthiest Americans, like his family. ‹(°¿°)›
