Is that why we've lost more jobs in the last 3 years than in this nations HISTORY, despite racking up the largest deficit ever from a surplus state?

Actually in some ways, spending like this is quite an accomplishment for Bush, its kindof the equivalent of the megaprice on "shop till you drop". If you'd asked anybody in the 90s if it was even POSSIBLE to rack up a 450 billion $ deficit in 3 years they would have gone into a state of hysterics.

Millions of manufacturing jobs have been lost. The excuse given at that time was that US was the leader in hi-tech, so the manufacturing job losses don't matter. Now we are losing the high-tech jobs too... And that doesn't matter as well????
