For almost the entire Bush years, they masked the weakness of the economy - manufacturing and tech job losses overseas, the shift of jobs to the service sector, decreasing wage power of the average worker - with statistics and monetary manipulation.

BTW I totally agree on this, the US economy has not been able to create 150K jobs per month consistently for this entire decade. This should be a serious problem for legislators and economists and they haven't even addressed it like it doesn't exist. A few weeks ago before the current crisis some economist was speculating that 09 would be a good jobs year and the article was "JOBS boom predicted, 900K jobs in 09", well- that means this guy is predicting 75K jobs per month or HALF of what is required just to keep up with population growth.
