U.S. Economy went up 19.2% this quarter. The biggest jump in 19 years. There is no way the media dwells on this, because heaven forbid something that sheds a positive light on the Bush administration.
I'd like to say I'm happy for everybody because society benifts from growing economies and all that junk, but honestly, I just want a job when I graduate.
UPDATE: CNBC sites the more modest annuated rate. They also manage to complain about how socks didn't go up today, claim that there is no way this could last, spend 10 paragraphs on companies that didn't do as well as they thought they would, and spend 200 words squawking up mutual fund scandals and the end of the economic world as we know it. You can hardly tell that something great has been happening for 3 months.

These people are acting out of contempt for America and with underlying nihilistic tendencies, not in accordance with political party strategy for the domination of popular opinion.
