Aren't we all sick of Bush's phony jobs promises? "President Bush said Monday that a soft economy had caused 'hardship for people in many industries and regions of our nation,' but he declared that 'America's economy is strong and getting stronger,' and he predicted the creation of 2.6 million jobs this year. "The prediction provides a benchmark that the president and his critics can use to measure the performance of the election-year economy." Jonathan Weisman in The Washington Post: "Wading into an election-year debate, President Bush's top economist yesterday said the outsourcing of U.S. service jobs to workers overseas is good for the nation's economy." Weisman notes that last year the administration projected 1.7 million new jobs would be added in 2003. The 2002 report had predicted 3 million new jobs in 2003. "Instead, the nation lost 53,000 payroll jobs last year, the Labor Department says."
