...why are all of bush's promised elite rich tax cut related jobs going to foreigners? Are they? Show me some statistics. No, not anecdotal evidence - hard numbers. see what happens when ya give the movers and shakers money in an overcapacity environment? Oh, was the economy NOT growing at 3+% last qtr and is it NOT projected by most economists to grow even faster this qtr? You should know that businesses are always slow to rehire coming out of a slow economy - they are cautious having so recently laid people off and will first try to squeeze more out of existing employees (hence the recent surge in productivity statistics). Besides, we've seen just over two months of extra cash in pockets from the last tax cut (and less than that in terms of economic statistics). Did you really think it'd be like turning on a light switch?
