Is the economy really that bad?

Last time I heard, Its always hard to find a job when you are unemployed. That's part of what makes a good job worth having. Unemployment is low in the US by historical standards and in comparison to other parts of the developed world, so we must be doing something right visa via the American economy.

In short: the rest of the World's economy is in a lot worse shape than the American economy. I guess that's Bush's fault too?

Isn't it interesting that the Democrats think the answer to unemployment and a weak economy is more social welfare programs, just like those in Germany and France where unemployment is 3-5 times higher than in the US? (Yes that 's right 5X... The unemployment in Some german towns is 25%+)

Sorry they can keep their welfare states and the corespondingly high unemployment rates.
I for one prefer the open market Capitalism of a working state.
