I personally think the economy is doing great when the high fuel costs are considered. High fuel costs effect every single segment of the economy.
I personally think the economy is doing great when the little guy on the street can feel it. Like in the Clinton years. If only the rich fat cats at the top are doing great, that isnt MY idea of a booming economy, its just BUSINESS AS USUAL.
