the administration will see a net decline in employment during its tenure. again. Untrue. Clinton. employment year 2000 136,516,000 Bush " thru July-yr.2004 139,660,000 Bush Net gain 3,144,000 By next January, at the beginning of Bush's second term, the employment figures, of course, will be much higher. I also point out during the 1st several years of Clinton the un-employment rate exceeded 7% for many months, until the Republicans took over Congress and un-employment rates began dropping, and the debt became a surplus instead of the deficit under Clinton. There are, of course, other factors affecting our un-employment rate, such as the war, and the world wide recession, lessening the demand for our goods abroad. These conditions did not exist under Clinton. The war on the US he ignored. Unemployment in Germany and France has reached 10%. There is also the insatiable world demand for oil, led by the surgence of China creating a supply/demand unbalance.
