STATE OF THE UNION '08: Bush on Economy & Stimulus Package

Excerpt from Bush's final State of the Union address - Jan. 28, 2008:

"To build a prosperous future, we must trust people with their own money and empower them to grow our economy. As we meet tonight, our economy is undergoing a period of uncertainty. America has added jobs for a record 52 straight months, but jobs are now growing at a slower pace. Wages are up, but so are prices for food and gas. Exports are rising, but the housing market has declined. And at kitchen tables across our country, there is concern about our economic future.

In the long run, Americans can be confident about our economic growth. But in the short run, we can all see that growth is slowing. So last week, my Administration reached agreement with Speaker Pelosi and Republican Leader Boehner on a robust growth package that includes tax relief for individuals and families and incentives for business investment. The temptation will be to load up the bill. That would delay it or derail it, and neither option is acceptable. This is a good agreement that will keep our economy growing and our people working. And this Congress must pass it as soon as possible."

the speech, a groundhog's day, could've been any year same ol' rhetoric. no real surprises from oppy.. it called planning, and he is no economist. he is no business man. he is a failed world figure. now, the economy- is america willing for bush to do worse?

his plan is a band aid on a bullet wound-

no need and to late ...
