Bush Vindicated

"...In the month of October I will bring your president to a place of vindication because of what I’m going to do and how I’m going to reveal it says the Lord... America has been set aside for the month of October for divine VINDICATION... even the economy shall be raised up and there shall be a break through financially – take this and rejoice says the Lord – for it shall be so . . ."

The following is an article released today by Fox News concerning the vindication of President Bush. Although this headline marks a beginning of fulfillment of the prophetic word, we are also aware that it may be an indication of other things which the public has not yet been made aware of because of security issues and very possibly will hear about it in the next month or so.

"Bush Vindicated by Economic Recovery"

Friday, October 31, 2003 FOX NEWS REPORTS - WASHINGTON

— President Bush appeared to have a spring in his step Thursday after news heralded the economy had doubled its rate of growth over this summer and reduced one of his greatest political liabilities heading into an election year.

"The economic figures for the third quarter show that the economy grew at an annual rate of 7.2 percent. That's the fastest growth we've had in nearly 20 years. Consumers with extra cash from the tax cuts earlier this year increased their spending at the fastest rate in 15 years," Bush told workers at a factory in Columbus, Ohio.

Businesses like the one the president visited have finally started spending more as well, a double dose of encouraging news that lifted the economy and gave Bush license to claim his economic policies have been vindicated.

"The tax relief we passed is working. We left more money in the hands of the American people, and the American people are moving this economy forward," Bush said.

Though economists differ on how much of a role the tax cut played, no one disputes it was one of several factors that lit a fire under consumers and the economy

"Part of it is the refinancing earlier this year. Part of it is because the stock market is doing better and people psychologically feel better. But a decent-sized chunk of this is the tax cut," said Greg Valiere, chief strategist of the Schwab Washington Research Group (search).

But not everyone thinks the economy is in such great shape. Democrats who have made the issue one of their chief criticisms of Bush, said Thursday's numbers are welcome news, but they are being built on the backs of future generations.

It shouldn't be surprising the economy is growing because the government has been writing hundreds of billions of dollars of "hot checks," said Sen. Kent Conrad (search), D-N.D., pointing to the $374 billion deficit in the last fiscal year.

Democrats added that growth in gross domestic product (search) needs to be accompanied by more jobs.

"Where are the jobs? The American people will not settle for, nor should the Republicans celebrate, a jobless recovery," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (search), D-Calif.

The economy has lost more than 3 million jobs since Bush was inaugurated, but several forecasts now predict the economy will create 1 to 1.5 million jobs over the next year.


"You can make the argument that the employment picture is turning and turning significantly. I think hiring will pick up. I think the unemployment rate, which is now 6.1, will be down to 5 ½ by late spring," Valiere said.

Already, companies have greatly increased their hiring of temporary workers, the last step before they start creating more full-time jobs.

And more stimulus is on the way, say supporters of the president. This year's tax rate cuts and marriage penalty breaks went into effect in July but are retroactive to January, meaning taxpayers will get back another $30 billion or so when they file their taxes next spring, just as the presidential campaign gets into full swing.
