If these businesses you say are booming really are booming, we should see it in the jobs figures.

Bush economy is not really growing. The GDP has spurted due to deficit financing. But in the long run without jobs that's a negative not a positive. We're just in deeper debt because of it. Also, it's just rebounding still from the very bottom during the Iraq War, where Bush took us on his obsessive question to ignore everything but Saddam Hussein. Despite massive public spending since no jobs are being created the boom is hollow and meaningless. California added 8000 jobs last month, most of them temp jobs. That's terrible. Remember just to keep up with population growth and new workers coming into the market Bush needs to add 150 K jobs per month. He's steadily losing jobs. 3 million already. And as for mining growing that's because people buy gold as a hedge aainst the falling dollar. Construction and real estate is a bubble propped up by Greenspan. But for how long? Hospitality, what's that mean, hookers?
