If you think that the recession was the result of Bush's policies (that hadn't even been implemented yet!), then you're either stupid or a liar. Then, 9/11 came about. It's nothing short of miraculous that our economy was able to rebound so strongly after what it'd gone through: 9/11, corporate scandals, union pension fund scandals, insider trading, two wars, etc. |

Jobs are a lagging indicator. The tax cut was passed, and rates were reduced effective July 1, 2001...which means American's didn't start seeing *some* of their returned money until after the April 2002 returns were submitted. Of course, the recession from 2001 and early 2002 hurt people's income and the job market. Therefore, the tax money refunded in 2003 constitutes the bulk of the tax cut...which means Americans have only had about 11 months to spend the tax cut refunded money. Since *every single* economist will tell you there's a lag between a jump in GDP and a jump in employment, it stands to reason that the past 7 months of increases in employment figures is just following on the heels of 9 quarters of GDP increases. After 3 straight quarters of a *decreasing GDP*, the 4th quarter GDP in 2001 had increased...and GDP has been increasing for 9 consecutive quarters. What happened in 2001 to stop the recession? The tax cut and interest rate cuts by the Fed. |

Kerry is going to remove the tax cuts, penalize corporations that hire overseas (I suppose he'll penalize foreign corporations that hire in the US), and implement about $800,000,000,000 in new program giveaways, AND bring about 10,000,000 new jobs. And only the top 1% of taxpayers are going to pay for all this. You gotta like someone like that! Now, given that there are lots of folks who *believe* that crap, do you think a logical argument makes a bit of difference?

A question - the guy who put in my implants, and said they were guaranteed for 20 years You can't put a guarantee on anything to do with the human body. It's not ethical, because the body sometimes does its own thing no matter how well the work was done. just had a heart attack. You think his heart surgeon will guarantee his bypass? What do I do if he doesn't recover? The same thing you'd do if he were healthy. Hope that your body doesn't reject the implants one day. Lose weight? There are better ways. |
