The stock market has been breaking records, unemployment is at 4.5%, we have had steady economic growth for 65 months, uh .. "the economy is bad". Or at least that is what folks that are polled believe--it is a "fact" that contributes to the low Bush poll numbers.

George Will does a good job of covering the facts, the Democrats response, and discusses the strange idea of "equal outcome" in a world where God has certainly chosen to not distribute ability or motivation equally. What he doesn't discuss is the right turn of the French. Apparently, even the French have realized that economic growth has some reality-based components. Will the Democrats ever come to that realization?
