Now you're sweating.
The economy did well until the bubble burst? No, no. The economy did poorly. You see that was artificial and hence why it was a bubble. If it wasn't a bubble, the economy would have simply been doing well. now the economy corrected itself. Ebay is one of the few companies that emerged from the bubble and still grew as you even say. Ebay is a community that large international corporations sell through and it is much larger now than before. Cheney's message was on the internet and ebay as new outlets for sales. So we do appreciate your applause on this great Republican has shown one aspect of the economy's growth. Now let's look at this picture of how the economy has done better:
Increased growth of revenue from new sources is but one of many sources for the better economy. Look at that sonny.
So the question is,
what is the motivation for Democrats wanting the economy to fail?

I didn't claim that. I asked is it a major indicator in a sarcastic way. Touting ebay as proof the economy is better is a joke. So if ebay does well but other big industries don't, is the economy still good? Cheney was just reaching for "proof", that doesn't mean " Republicans are trying to understand how the world is changing and how to increase the growth of American businesses". The internet and ebay have been around a long time. The economy did quite well on it until the bubble burst. To ebay's credit they did survive the burst.
And yes and in my opinion lowering taxes can benefit corporations if people make enough to get the tax cuts and choose to spend the money they get to drive the economy. Bush's first tax cut backfired because most people saved their money because they were worried about the economy and their future.
I am not tring to sway your opinion. I am just stating my opinion. You may think its wrong, but honestly I doubt we will ever see eye to eye on certain issues. Economics is your field. You are going to believe what you see and deal with. You and I see things differently. Just because economics is your field doesn't mean everyone should agree with your views. That article I posted was just in reference that not all economist agree with you and I doubt those guys went to "bad schools".
