				The misery index
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			After finding the misery index was working in Bush's favor, Kerry's team created a new "middle class misery index" and took out all the things that might be favorable to Bush. 
http://www.johnkerry.com/pressroom/r...2004_0412.html
This new index says that the economic times during the Carter administration were phenomenal.
 
LOL

Oh yeah, the late seventies were such a *happy* time for Americans     Offhand, the only thing I remember for sure as being phenomenal was the interest rate for new mortgages; around 17%

 Hard to be good at economics when your platform is to loot the businesses and high wage earners to make way for bigger government.

 I think you're in the wrong thread.  Otherwise, those are called graphs.

 I was talking about the flash movie that came with the report.  I didn't notice the graph on the report until today (my bad!).  I apologize for any confusion my previous post may have caused.
