Dubyanomics-The Numbers are Good News America — And for Bush.

Rich Lowry [1] whose book you will note on the right column on this page, reports that:

“The numbers even like George Bush more than Bill Clinton. According to J. Edward Carter’s calculation, during the first three years of the Bush administration compared with the first three years of the Clinton administration, the inflation rate is lower (1.9 percent versus 2.6 percent), the unemployment rate is lower (5.5 percent versus 6.2 percent), annual productivity growth is higher (4.1 percent versus .5 percent), and the increase in nonfarm real compensation per hour is higher (+0.8 percent versus -0.3 percent).”

I’d say if the Democrats plan to run on the economy, they’re going to be in serious trouble.
