Unemployment is still high and now the stock market is in a sharp decline -- thanks to George W. Bush.
Why? Becaue the global security situation just keeps getting worse due to the idiotic provocations and unilaterlism of his White House. Bush's policies have grave economic consequences for us and the rest of the world -- starting with greater instability in world markets.
And there's more bad economic news that may be tied to the Bush White House: today's EU decision targetting Microsoft -- one of America's great companies. "European Union states on Monday backed a proposal to fine Microsoft a record 497 million euros ($613.5 million) for abusing its dominance of PC operating system."

Didn't the Bush administration say we can basically give Europe the finger and not worry about the consequences? Or could it be that thanks to the war in Iraq, many governments -- not just Spain -- now want to reign in our power and influence through every non-military method at their disposal? It's starting to look that way.
If current trends continue, smart CEOS in this country may start hoping Bush is run out of office as much as their employees do.
