Sure, it would be interesting to see a side by side comparison i.e; with the Clinton years. Your rhetoric now is meaningless, without such data, since it is not available and never was. You might also be interested in looking at the number of self-employed, some 400,000 more last year - which, btw can be directly linked to the tax cuts, as it gave small business owners et al favorable treatment.

Mr. Left Hand, I'd Like You to Meet Mrs. Right Hand You had to love these back-to-back graphs in today's Washington Post story about former Terrorism Czar Richard Clarke's claim that President Bush demanded he find a link between the Trade Center attacks and Iraq: On the same broadcast, deputy national security adviser Stephen J. Hadley said, "We cannot find evidence that this conversation between Mr. Clarke and the president ever occurred." In interviews for this story, two people who were present confirmed Clarke's account. They said national security adviser Condoleeza Rice witnessed the exchange. Rice, in an opinion article published opposite The Washington Post editorial page today, writes: "It would have been irresponsible not to ask a question about all possible links, including to Iraq...." So basically the Administration sent Hadley out with talking points instructing him to call Clarke a liar. But they not only neglected to tell him that Clarke was telling the truth, but that they were already writing Condoleezza Rice's op-ed confirming as much. Either the much vaunted White House communication team is a paper tiger, or they just hung Mr. Hadley out to dry. Either way, despite their attempt at a hatchet job on Clarke, they've really only made him look more credible. gadflyer.com/flytrap/index.php?Week=200413#132
