If you're not one of the "haves" and you're trying to pay rent, buy
groceries, clothe and educate a couple of kids, pay for more or all of
your family health insurance (hundreds of dollars per month, typically)
and keep an old car running on the $535 a week average wage in the US
right now it would be very optimistic to consider the current status
"good news". Especially when, even after 262,000 jobs were "created"
last month, the unemployment rate also went *up*.

Hey Chuck, what is the educational background of the bottom 20% of wage earners?
Why does someone making $7.00 an hour have two kids? Where does personal
responsibility enter your calculations?

How the hell could Bush affect these 'problems' you present anyway? Raise taxes
and give them more money?
