While the whole Bush economic agenda seems to be to destroy social security, the rest of the economy seems to be pretty shaky based on this piece from AP:
Stocks plunged again Friday, suffering their worst day of 2005 and the third straight triple-digit loss for the Dow Jones industrial average. Deepening concerns over economic growth and higher prices led to the worst week of trading so far this year.The last couple days for the stock market haven't really been the best selling point for private accounts.
The Dow fell 198 points after an already uneasy market was disappointed with the latest economic news. The Federal Reserve reported drops in manufacturing and other industrial production, while a Labor Department report also showed higher oil costs driving up import prices and worsening Wall Street's chronic inflation worries.
And, I know, Bush, Frist and DeLay are way, way too busy to worry about anything as mundane as skyrocketing gas prices, higher prices in general and drops in manufacturing, but this is the GOP's economy. They own it.
