Lets see; currently there are around 2.4 million less people employed now than in Feb 2001; normally the employed work force grows by around 2 million a year. Where are all these 8.4 million people; self-employed? No way; also several million people are now working part time as compared to 2000. While all of this is not the shrub's fault; his policies to grow the work force generally suck. Granted the 9/11 shock and the internet bubble have made it hard to grow employment, but why does shrub dissemble about the facts?
