The economy sucks, stupid

How ya doin' economically, Bud? The Republicans seem to think that we're all just rolling in clover and the Outlook is Swell, in keeping with the Shrub's sunny ignorance of the drain on our pocketbooks that the War On Terrur is costing us.

As playing with statistics can be loads of fun (you had fun with statistics in college, no?), the Republicans do it over and over again. They seem to forget that lots of people can add and subtract, including their own Bureau of Labor Statistics, as well as the Treasury, and the Congressional Budget Office.

Anyway, Hal Stewart over at The Blogging of the President does the math.

The economy sucks, stupid.
