The Strengths of the Bush Economic Record. Currently, the polls show quite even figures before the US election. That implies that the third and final debate on Wednesday in Arizona State University between Bush and Kerry will be important. The topic will be domestic issues, and thus mainly economic issues. All this year there has been quite a lot of discussion about jobs and economy, and the record of President Bush has been scrutinised. Indeed, he has been President during a recession which got worse following September 11th. Unfortunately, the discussion has so far not so much concerned whose economic ideas are the best for the future. In my view, that is the most important reason to vote for Bush. Now, the Heritage Foundation has produced an analysis showing that the economic record of Bush so far, even during these tough times, has been rather good. They find that output is booming, the manufacturing outlook is positive, business confidence is high, and productivity continues to set records. Even such canards as income inequality, tax burden, health coverage, worker discouragement show grounds for optimism.
