Booming Baby! Booming! We, in the US, were at WAR during some of that period and as with all wars fought on foreign soil, we were benefiting economically.\n\nGDP +10.32%, -4.32%, 9.77%, 5.48%, 12.99%, 7.47% for the years 1995-1900 respectively.\n\nHere is a tip though, two of the six years we were not at war.

economy is NOT booming.. The economy is suffering from the highest deficit of ALL time. 7 TRILLION dollars.\n\nbush's poll numbers are so low they're at the same level as Nixon's when he resigned office because he was facing impeachment. The lowest of any president of ALL time!\n\n- we're not winning the war. we're hundreds of billions of dollars in the hole. 2,000+ dead... 20,000+ wounded... no WMD's, a super strong insurgency, a hotbed for al queda (wasn't any in iraq before the war)\n- bin laden is still alive and planning, american's are being spyed on\n- the disdain for america is mounting from all sectors of the world\n- china and india are on their way to taking america's place as the world's super powers in 30-40 years, \n- un-employment has increased since bush first took office\n- civil liberties are disappearing\n- and the list goes on and on..\n\nthe healthiest the econonmy has been, the safest america has been was during the 8 years clinton was in office...\na libby...

I think at this moment in time, anything can improve the economy.  I can't even imagine it going downhill from here.  It has gotten so bad in some parts, the only place to look is up.  I think the only thing that can bring the economy down is shipping off millions of immigrants who take the jobs that most native citizens couldn't afford to take anyway.

The economy speaks for itself. George Bush has done a remarkable job under tough cercumstances and his morals are excellent.

I'm a recently retired Director of Engineering of a large Aerospace company.  All areas of business have their ups and their downs.  On up cycles we couldn't find enough good engineers.  On down cycles we had to lay-off plenty...as much as 35% of the engineering workforce.  However, those that were let go usually found another job within a month or so.  I don't recall many who remained unemployed for too long.  \n\nWe live in a highly technical world, and technology is advancing everyday.  I highly recommend engineering.  The one area that might be a little shakey is computer software engineering.  There is a trend to offload this type of engineering to India, Mexico, Russia etc because of their low labor rates.

I think the issue is more then a depression. The United States is losing confidence throughout the world. Foreign and American investors are turning to Europe as the solidified economy. A depression indicates a periodic significant drop in the economy. I think its going to be much worse. It will be permanent. New jobs consist of unskilled and underpaid positions. When 10,000 Americans are applying for jobs that pay 8 dollars an hour, just so they can work, and basic fuel products, gasoline, natural gas, heating oil etc are skyrocketing, how are people going to afford this at 8 dollars an hour? We are watching the decline of the American dream and hence its empire. This is sadly written by someone who loves America.

In general, wars actually stimulate the economy because government spending goes way up, as has been seen. Unemployment numbers are near all-time lows.  We're definitely below 5%, which is very good, so that's not really to blame.  The Fed is actually trying to slow down the economy because it's booming too much.  Right now, the US has one of the stronger economies in a while.\n\nI see that you're a TA.  You could try an go back to receive more education and become a full teacher instead of just a TA.  There are probably more job opportunities there.  And your particular job doesn't have as much to do with overseas jobs.  Those are more call centers, programming jobs, manual labor, and so forth.  Teachers can't really be moved overseas.

They are depressing the labor market, for whatever value it had in that area, by driving low wages even lower. So the non-high school legitimate American who is looking for work has to compete with non-English-speaking illegal labor willing to work for less than minimum, which by comparison, is a lot more than there were used to getting in that despotic cesspool of corruption called Mexico.

Good Luck with that! The best source is to ask older citizens. They are your best source. Books will only give you a general description of all the Good things that happened. They are not able to tell what really happened.

Try asking what is the impact of an increase in the minimum wage on the availability of entry level positions and total wages paid to those who fill those positions?  You might also ask what the anticipated reaction of job-providers would be?  \n\nI don't know if you'll get the correct answer here, but I suspect that many would be surprised to know the real (measured) impact. \n\nHint:  Imagine your reaction if you owned a business employing 50 minimum wage employees and the mandated wage goes up by 20%.  Would you:\n\na.  Knuckle under, pay the higher wage, maintain your prices and make less profit?\n\nb.  Pay the higher wage, raise prices to compensate and hope that your competition doesn't transfer jobs to China?\n\nc.  Hire undocumented workers for less than the minimum wage and hope you don't get caught? \n\nd.  Lay off 20% of your workforce and try to squeeze more output out of the remaining 40 employees?\n\ne.  Follow the competition and transfer your jobs to China? \n\nWhich of these possible "solutions" is best for the U.S. economy and labor market?

The unemployment rate is also lower now than it was during the Clinton years.  Many of the bashers are just ignorant, and are so blinded by their dislike, that they refuse to accept positivve news.  I refer to thse people as "poor losers".
