WHERE ARE THE HEADLINES?

With George Bush's approval ratings at record lows, the media and the Democrats are piling on over the perceived lack of success in Iraq. But the one story they are completely ignoring is that the economy is on fire. By every measure, were are in the middle of an economic boom. The stock market...the housing market...and now the employment market are all booming.

Just how good are things? According to a report issued yesterday by an employment consulting firm, college graduates are facing the best job market since 2001. The CEO of the firm who wrote the report says that were are approaching full employment. In fact, in some industries, there are shortages. Employers are expecting to hire 14.5% more new college graduates this year.

The overall unemployment rate is at 4.8%. That's very low. If a Democratic administration were in power, we would be hearing and seeing stories about how we've never had it so good. But as it stands, with a Republican in the White House, all of that is swept under the rug. Instead, all we hear about is Iraq.

Just another day at the office for the biased liberal media.
