2+2=5

By Robert I Cruickshank on October 23, 2003

Format: Paperback

This book has a very interesting premise, which is that common sense and experienced reality are both false. Many, many Americans, from the working poor to the middle class, are experiencing economic distress, smaller paychecks, higher college costs, and uncertain employment prospects. Average Americans, Joe Sixpacks, do not see a good economic picture.
Bowyer and Kudlow, however, would have us ignore all of this and try to convince us that Bush's policies, which have failed to yield solid results by any standard economic measures, have actually already produced a boom. They use very convoluted and hard-to-follow arguments, with very little reflection of fact, to try to convince the reader that Bush is an economic genius.
As a serious study of current political economy, this book is a joke. As an example of the total disconnection of conservatives with basic human reality, however, it is a tour de force.

At last, our 8 year nightmare of national prosperity is over

By Joseph H. Dougherty on October 23, 2003

Format: Paperback

I think that "delusional" is too kind here. There has indeed been a Bush boom, but it has been confined to the small group already the best off in American society. As he heads on to have a net loss in jobs during his term, as his ill-conceived adventure in Iraq allows bin Laden to go free and inflames hatred for America, and as his domestic policies erode forty years of bipartisan progress Bush has created a "boom" indeed--unfortunately, it is the "boom" of the economy and security of America imploding.

Through the Looking Glass

By Sjorgl on October 24, 2003

Format: Paperback

Finally! A book that proves the existence of an alternate universe. Obviously, a rip in the space/time continuum between this universe and the other universe where Bush is presiding over a 'boom economy opened up and this book fell through. Can there be ANY other explanation?

Death Is Good For You!

By A Customer on October 24, 2003

Format: Paperback

That's what comes next from the authors of this tome of propoganda.
It works something like this: Bush destroys the economy, people lose their jobs, their homes, their savings, their health insurance and then they either die from some malady or they kill themselves and that's GOOD! Because then they don't have to pay any taxes anymore! And it helps the economy because that's one less person competing with you for a job at McDonalds when you used to make six figures in programming!

This book's accuracy is without question.

By A Customer on October 24, 2003

Format: Paperback

Jerry Bowyer, and Larry Kudlow do a wonderful job of hitting all the Republican talking points. Heck, it even seems as though they made up a few lies of their own. The Boom the book title refers to only applies to the richest 1% of Americans, however they don't tell you this. Just in case you are wondering that's only people making more than $250,000 per year, and hence does not include you. Meanwhile the 99% rest of us Americans lose funding for education, highways, dams, police, fire, all sorts of infrastructure. Don't be fooled, the only boom in anybodies bank account is billionaire Richard Melon Scaife, a man who inherited his wealth without having to work for it. Meanwhile we are all told to work harder so that he can make even more off our sweat.
So once again the Scaife conservative pact continues to push another book that nobody wants to read out into the world. Why would they do this if nobody is going to buy it? How do the ideas from these books nobody reads get out there? After all Scaife is no fool he is expecting a return when he pays for thousands of books that will never be sold to be printed. Scaife knows these books will be reviewed in major news papers, magazines, websites, and referred to often as references on political TV shows, and right wing talk radio. So while the book may never sell, the ideas in them get pounded into our heads.
Is it class warfare? You bet, the Republicans declared it some years back. It's about time we, the 99%, start to fight back with an agenda that is good for all Americans.

If you liked this book....

By R. Dosser on October 23, 2003

Format: Paperback

May I also recommend the pithy and prophetic "Dow 36,000" and "The Long Boom", not to mention the coming volume "How Bush Turned the Moon into Free Pie"

Priced to sell

By A Customer on October 23, 2003

Format: Paperback

Make sure you get Ludlow to pay you $10.50 to read this book rather than the other way around.
I wonder what they'll do with all of the unbought copies of this book -- bleach the pages and print Coulter's next screed on it I guess.

Unintentionally hilarious cultural artifact

I read the title of this book and my jaw dropped. Its a goof right? WRong- unfortunately the author was serious.

Irresponsible

In all fairness, Jerry Bowyers wrote this book in 2003 or 2004, and he only had data available at that time. Read more

How wrong can Jerry Bowyer be?

This book came out in 2003. Here in 2009 the proof has shown Jerry is full of self-reinforcing delusions. Read more

five stars for entertainment value!!!!

I absolutely loved this book. As a work of purest fiction it is the prototype for all future spin and double speak from cover to cover.

Published on February 20, 2009 by V. Brown

Really, the economic success would have been buying up this book...

...and now selling them off to those who want, or need, a snarky gift. It's really the perfect gift to a banker. Read more

Great Gag Gift

Another great title by the same author as "The Earth is Flat" and "Godzilla Ended WW2". This book is guaranteed to make anyone laugh. Read more

A stunning literary and factual masterpiece

This author is absolutely brilliant. He was able to completely write this entire book on opposite day, which makes the book 100% correct.

Hero of the day

Before I read this fine literary work, I had no Heroes in my life. Suffice it to say I know have a hero to last the rest of my life.

Published on January 16, 2009 by E. Miller

A satire, surely, but not a good one

It details in all but the worst satire how awful a job Bush has done with the economy. It's like they weren't even trying.
