#2 The media spin will be toward the 'higher interest rates' meme.

If it's even mentioned at all...

Unfortunately, the economy in Kentucky (I'm presuming that's where you live) has been underperforming relative to the national economy for the past year or two.

#6 Poison's right on. Bin Laden thinks he knows how to break us, but, we have a economy that just gets richer when we have to invent new products, like we have to do for security and the military.
I'm even amazed at how well we are doing. If the price of oil ever drops, look out. This economy could explode.

#7 Yes, but what kind of jobs are these? Outsourcing is tearing this nation apart! Interest rates are rising! People are working to earn wages that forces them to live paycheck to paycheck! This administration is running high deficits and ignoring the American people! I served in Vietnam!

I'm planning for a drop to $40/barrel in the summer of 06. This will give my evil minions the 'our President's energy program is working' talking point and get the bump up in the economy that you anticipate and we'll wait until after the election in Nov 06 to raise interest rate 100 basis points or so to cool the economy off.

Bwahhaaaaa
