The DOW has past the 12,000 mark setting new all time highs despite the war in Iraq and the North Korean nuclear threat.  Now even more good news is coming out about the US economy:

The Labor Department Friday announced that the number of jobs increased between April 2005 and March 2006 not by 5.8 million but by 6.6 million.
...
The federal budget deficit has been cut in half in three years, three years faster than George W. Bush called for. Why? Tax receipts were up 5.5 percent in FY 2004, 14.5 percent in FY 2005, and 11.7 percent in FY 2006. That's up 34.9 percent in three years. And that's after the 2003 tax cuts.

So why isn't anyone hearing about this?  Why is it only doom and gloom in the media?  Could it be because the media would rather show you footage of sniper attacks killing US servicemen in Iraq before the November election?

GI,

That is part of the game plan. When 10 of 11 people in the media vote Democrat then you show footage that hurts President Bush and the Republicans. Newspaper editors are foaming at the mouth to see a San Francisco speaker of the house and either Hillary Clinton or Obama, HUGE liberals, take over. Then all terrorists can be tried in small claims court, the Mexican border can be opened wide and people making over $100,000 will be raped by the IRS. Sounds like fun times! Why do you care when you don't pay income tax and get all your income from tax free, municipal bonds? Or if you are great at buying homes (Harry Reid) and doubling your money in a few years?
