rd, payroll jobs are down 1.2 million. do you assert we have 1.75 million new businesses since january? at best, we have conflicting information. be it far from you to admit that truth rather than just pounding half the story you like while ignoring the other half you don't like. ps - i don't just look at the headlines. if i did, i wouldn't be correcting your misleading statistics. ;-)

an excellent article from Forbes biz.yahoo.com But since this summer a crucial 15% of the voters who otherwise like Bush and support him on Iraq have turned against him. Why? Job worries, mostly. Bush needs to address this voter concern directly or he'll suffer the same fate as his father, who looked similarly clueless during a period of "jobless recovery." FICA taxes hit the self-employed very hard. You, as the suddenly self-employed (one of those consultants darkening the skies), would want--and by justice ought to have--the ability to opt out of that FDR-era creaker.
