If you think Bush's tax cuts are working, talk to 3 million people who aren't.
George Bush fired 3,000,000 people?
The economy was in decline when Slick was in office. 9-11 exascerbated it, but actually may have taken some of the sting out of the recession by bottoming out almost immediately. Bush has concentrated first and foremost on national security, as he should have. But he hasn't neglected the economy or anyone in it.
Besides, the president's job is not to care about the "common man", as Slick conned people into thinking he did. But he's not so stupid that he doesn't know the "common man" votes.
And if you don't like the way the economy behaves when a businessman is in the White House, what the hell do you want a minor general in there for?
