Let's Be Serious »

FTA: "the economic expansion from 2000 to 2006 was something less than nirvana for working people. The economy grew by 15 percent during that period, and the official rates of joblessness and inflation were low.

"Let the candidates wrestle with this issue of increasing economic inequality, rather than President Bush's spurious and deeply offensive rant comparing advocates of international diplomacy with those who appeased Hitler and the Nazis.
