The last two quarters have shown above 4.0% GDP growth, with both quarterly inflational indicators under 1% discounting energy increases, and less than 2% including them.

Corporate Profits are back up to expected growth levels, and many economists are predicting that we are finally over the bubble burst correction that began in 2000.

Further reports have shown that the average American is better off than they were in 2000, due to the phenominally low interest rates, which allow for a much larger consumer buying power, much of which still has not yet been fully utilized.

My immediate area (county) is supposed to hire several thousand jobs by 2006... I forget the #, was higher than 20k. The unemployment rate was anticipated to drop a full percentage point from 5.7 to 4.7 (by 2006).

Granted that's a year and a half... but it's a big improvement, revising job losses.
