It only takes 6 months to change a 50% unemployment number to 0%, except if somebody extends the 6 month rule. The other number is funnier, depending on what corporations are called,

This was discussed in the movie where the local employment office in Flint said there was around 50% unemployment which I think we all know is more accurate than the bogus UI claims figures this administration puts out A key point that should be made here is that if in fact the Flint unemployment rate did reach 50% immediately following the GM plant closings (quite possible), you shouldn't expect that situation to last forever or even be maintained till 2004. People find new jobs, new businesses create new jobs, the economy is dynamic. Roger Smith was just a clueless idiot who had no idea how to deal with the looming japanese threat. Why doesn't Michael Moore know that? And who is blaming the US workforce for management incompetence. I do know a fellow who says things like "Americans are the stupidest people on earth" while on European book tours.

I just saw "F-911" and found it intriguing some negative comments, which dont dismiss overall view - too much on black recruitment into US Military how about more on hispanic and poor white ? how about more on state national guard service ? how about some on dismissed legal cases where policemen are extended in Iraqi service while their criminal cases are due in court ? - too much on one lady whose son was killed how about 3-4 other mothers & fathers ? - too little on the prison abuse he missed a golden opportunity to claim the CIA was behind the photo revelations CIA is one of very few with motive to reveal and embarrass both Bushy (the Idiot Prince) and Defense Intell next up he could conjecture that the CIA might expose portions of the classified Energy Commission report just like Ellsberg overall, an incredibly deep list of frames of a clueless knuckleheaded president the Senator from the State of Oil good info on Harken and Armbusto (sic) company venture capital funding sources from Bed Linen family good linkage of Afghan to pipelines, Karzi to Unocal good linkage of terror warnings to sacrifice of civil liberties good coverage of lighters and breast milk onboard jetplanes (I favor breast milk myself, more nutritious) let's see if Colin Powell resigns before the election that would signal trouble in the oil patch how long before the American public wakes up to the reality that Iraqi oil production is still below pre-war levels? that Iraqi production will not be used to finance rebuilding their oil systems, but rather US taxpayers, or should say Asian credit suppliers to our bankrupt federal financial structure? that Iraqi electricity production is still below pre-war levels? that Iraqi food production is still below pre-war levels? I doubt the US public will ever seriously evaluate the 12 main reasons for Iraqi War and promises for outcomes the main judgment might be the 2004 prez elections you know, Saddam has never looked better !!! wonders of a decent diet, time out of a spider hole, and some sun looking good for the guillotine, my man / jim
