Kenneth,re:"recession end .. one million jobs lost". That's
pretty good track record for Bush to run on. I bet Bush
will say: "recession ended on 2001, READ MY LIPS, LOSERS".
With RONgang, any number can become good number.

OH MY GOD, was the Kennyboy's picture on Yahoo's news.
Nobody can find him, they just put up the photo to make
believe they are still after him.

Oh, well, spin..spin..spin. Nobody dares to touch KENNY.

"one million jobs lost since the end of the recession"

Unemployment is at just over 6%. No big deal imo, and not historically that high. Look at the liberal countries (and states), and check out their rates. 6% looks pretty good.

btw, did you know that we were attacked and are at war? Save some of your anger for the ones who caused it instead of venting on your own country. I have a freind with United, and they were at 11,000 pilots, and will be down to 5,000. I know, I know, this is Bush's fault, right?

These things have a ripple effect, and to blame it on the President is so obvioulsy wrong that it proves your partisan hatred for the man.

If this is not the case, how specifically did Bush lose these jobs? I would like your answer to this, but won't hold my breath.

Much like the last recovery, oddly enough. But with added challenges since then of more competition from offshore workers, much higher costs of employment (workers comp., unemployment insurance, taxes, employee litigation risks, etc.). But I'm sure history and fact aren't enough for you.

Btw, workers comp increase alone is a big enough hit in California to have been blamed in large part for the economic decline.
