So far the 300,000 jobs gained in the last 4 months or so have ONLY cost the USA $4.028 billion EACH in USA debt. ...but, of course we know that the administration still has about 2.5+ million more jobs to go over the next 49/50 weeks just to break even before the election. The USA debt has INCREASED by $1.208457365 TRILLION since JAN 20, 2001 divided by a little over 300,000 jobs = $4.028 billion EACH. That's good math! ...Bush has spent MORE MONEY then any president (as a percent of GDP) since FDR during WWII when tax rates were in the 80+ range on some. <--- this before $400 billion Medicare bill passed. ...now he wants to go BACK to the moon -- somebody must have told him there is OIL there! -JH

I would like unemployment to go down. I would like to see people find jobs. In order to do that the economy needs to create about 350,000 jobs a month. Last month we only created 45,000 jobs. Who can be happy about those numbers? In addition, if you add in the people who GAVE UP looking for work because of the BUSH economy the number out of work would be more accurately put at around 10%+ and not 6%. Therefore the 6% number is basically meaningless.
