BUSH JOB LOSSES NEAR 3 MILLION: "Our economy is strong," President George
W. Bush declared on May 31, citing as evidence job growth during the past
two years and a 5.1 percent unemployment rate. What Bush didn't mention
was how many jobs have been lost in his entire four-year-plus tenure.

Is this just more Democrat propaganda, NOBBY? You'd think they'd have
mentioned a big number like this if it had any basis in fact, especially
if the economy gained more than 1 3/4 million jobs per month last
November & December. That would be very impressive.

"After the last jobs report before the 2004 election was released, Kerry
supporters were quick to declare that Bush was the first American
president since Herbert Hoover to have a net loss of jobs during his
term. However, since Bush officially took office in January 2001, he
still had the November and December numbers to add to his total. By the
time of his second inauguration in January 2005, Bush ended up with a
net gain of jobs for his first term."

No wonder you guys all think President Bush has done such a GREAT job on
the economy... 1.75 million jobs per month! WOW! Pretty soon the Chinese
will be griping about all the factories being moved over here!

BTW you might want to take a gander (if the facts aren't too painful) at
the blurb on President Bush's Social Security policy right below this.

"Most Democrats and some Republicans are critical of such ideas, partly
because of the large federal borrowing the plan would require ($1
trillion or more) to finance the transition..."
