"You deny Bush has lost 1.6 million private sector jobs" No, I didn't - yet. But I will. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of employed civilians in the US has risen by 1.7 million since Bush took office and 3.8 million since employment bottomed in January 2002. "and the new jobs replacing some of the old are of a poorer quality?" Prove it. "You deny health care" Already gave you the facts on that. Prove my data wrong. "gas and tuition costs have sky-rocketed" I denied no such thing, but I do deny, and have proved, that gas prices have risen anything like the 100% you claimed. As for tuition, are you suggesting that Bush's policies have caused college costs to rise at the "rocket-like" rate of 6-8% per year (compared to "only" 5% under Clinton)? If so, please be specific as to how Bush caused that to happen. "and state and local taxes have gone up as well?" Other than property taxes, due to appreciating home values, taxes haven't gone up where I live. If you're experiencing something different out there in LaLaLand, I suggest it is due to overspending by a recently replaced administration in Sacramento.
