Bush IS creating millions of jobs - in China and India. We all know now that the economy needs to create 150k jobs a month just to "break even" with the new jobseekers coming in to the market. The Bushies haven't achieved this number EVER. We also know that "discouraged" workers, no longer seeking employment aren't counted as unemployed. Does anyone know the number of people unemployed, uncounted, sitting on their thumbs waiting for the jobs picture to improve? I seem to recall a 9 million figure, but it was from a while back.

Bush talks about jobs creation in every speech. Yeah- he talks about it. But his economic team believes in comparative advantage in an IP economy, which is highly controversial. Comparative advantage (offshoring engineering specifically) doesn't work with IP. I'll bet in a few years we get another John Nash type economic genious who does exactly what John Nash did- create an economic theory that challenges a 200 year old standing theory. In the meantime we need a political team that has the ability to admit they might be wrong, this time, and can react to change.
