Brazile: Bush Economy Worst Since Depression

Though the Bush economy is currently roaring, with nearly 1 million jobs created in the last three months, top Democratic strategist Donna Brazile claimed on Sunday that "working people" are suffering more than at any time since the Great Depression.

"This is the lowest number of jobs created in over a century," Brazile insisted on ABC's "This Week."

When asked if she truly believed that the Bush economy was worse than the 1930s, when 25 percent unemployment was the norm and bread lines were common, Brazile insisted:

"For working people, it is. They're working longer hours and bringing home less pay. And they're not feeling [an improved] economy."

Of working Americans, Brazile claimed: "They're not seeing any job growth in their community. They're not feeling any less pressure now in terms of making ends meet."

"This Week" panelist George Will warned Brazile that Democrats won't be able to sell that line much longer.

"It's going to be very difficult to sustain this argument," he said. "The economy has been growing for two and a half years. ... Sooner or later, it seems to me, reality catches up to opinion."
