It is obvious that the Clinton/Gore recession has been exacerbated by 9/11 and the wars.....

Those manufacturing jobs are gone and they are not returning. It is difficult to see how employment will pick up without those manufacturing jobs. All those jobs lost in state and local government is also a negative for the labor market.

I see you are still here...posting the same ol garbage. Let's see some TRUE figures for a change.... Did you know: "Kerry-aoke" WASHINGTON - Ed Gillespie, Senior Advisor to the Republican National Committee (RNC), issued the following statement regarding an article published today in The Hill newspaper examining Senator John Kerry’s hypocritical call for more renewable energy: "John Kerry has shown once again that his stand on an issue depends on the audience he’s pandering to. He’s all for wind farms as an energy source when he’s talking to Iowa Democrats, but not when he’s talking to his supporters on Martha's Vineyard whose ocean view it would obstruct. "It’s the new ‘Kerry-aoke.’ He’ll sing from whatever song sheet his audience hands him." The Hill newspaper today takes a closer look at Senator Kerry’s hypocrisy in a story entitled, "Wind Farm Is an Issue for Kerry." For the entire story click here. See excerpts from the article below: A renewed plea by presidential hopeful John Kerry (D-Mass.) to redouble efforts at using renewable energy has elicited criticism that the senator has failed to push adequately for such innovations in his own backyard… "We can generate more and more of our electricity from wind, the sun, forest and farm products," Kerry said. "I believe we can and should produce 20 percent of all our electricity from renewable sources by 2020. Twenty by 2020 - now that’s a clear vision for America." It turns out, however, that it’s not such a clear vision for all… "Kerry is the one who really needs to be called out on this stuff," said Kert Davies, research director of Greenpeace. "He’s been pretty mum so far. We don’t know where he stands." … Greenpeace’s Davies agreed. "It’s like any tactical fight," he said. "They’re pushing every channel. It’s the same stuff we use when we want to block something. You go from every angle, because you never know which one will stick." "Ultimately," he added, "it’s a Nimby argument." Nimby is an acronym for "Not In My Backyard."
