Bush Spins Job Numbers

from JoeUser Forums


President Bush is patting himself on the back about job creation. Let’s take a look at the truth:

Population growth required 125,000 new jobs EVERY month just to stay even.

During the past three months we have NOT added the 375,000 new jobs.

Since Jan 2001, we have had 1.5 Million MORE people looking for work then jobs created.

Many of the new jobs do not pay a living wage and do not have benefits.

Average weekly wage after inflation is DOWN.

Consumers are increasing their spending by charging it on their plastic. The higher interest rates coupled with the higher credit cards balances are a real problem for the months ahead.

Yes we created more jobs but we are still 1.5 Million short since 2001. Individuals are NOT seeing an increase in the money they have to spend without charging it. For the majority of Americans, the Bush claim of a great economy falls on deaf ears.

By the way, that took about fifteen seconds to get the actual figures from the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Thank you Google!

Why do we have to do your homework for you, COL Curmudgeon?

Unemployment was 3.9% in 2001. The issue is just not the numbers but what the jobs pay and what benefits they have. many of the new jobs pay far less and have less benefits.


And you are STILL WRONG! According to the Dept of labor it was 4.7 percent. Go read and learn:

Tell that to the 1.5 Million that can not find a job.

Like you? I doubt it! When I was still able to work (have MS and am disabled) I commanded a good price due to my skills and experience ($16 @ hr). I repaired computers,printers and networks with 10 years OJT.

Why do you always resort to ignorant replies when people work hard to find facts to contradict your infinite complaints about the Bush Administration.

So what, all this time there have been thousand of people without work for years and years and know it's Bush's fault. Hows about you consider those who just don't want to work and like receiving Govt money? Why work when you can stay home and still get paid? Not everyone in the US will have a job at the same time. Try at least look like your rtying to fight back as oppose to just replying in anger or let your hatred towards Bush make you reply with the same thing you posted before. Just a suggestion.

Look, I believe you are doing what you believe is right and I, personally, don't take that away from you. You don't seem to be a dumb (opps, put the wrong word here for those who saw my post before editing) person when trying to prove that Bush sucks, it's your fact finding that needs work. People here provide link after link after link to disprove your points and facts yet you chose to continue to ignore them and push your points even if your wrong. I'm trying to be nice and point these things out but I can only expect a rude response from you because that's what you seem to be good at when someone points out your bad side.

WRONG., The President has the responsibility to enforce Federal laws via the attorney general and FBI.


As per usual you've got it ALL backwards! The attorney general and the FBI are the ones responcible for enforcing "federal" laws.

So how many times is that now? 6 times you've been proven wrong by me with direct proof contrary to what you seemed to think at the time on this thread alone. In case you're interested that would be replies #9,18,32,41,52 and 53. And that's not counting the ones where I basically stuck the proof in your face only to have you ignore it.

Tell me something, Col:

Why is it that, when the numbers are bad for the present White House occupants, you and your Bush-basher butt buddies accept them utterly and completely as being true, but when they're favorable, you say it's just a spin? Couldn't it JUST be POSSIBLE that your side spins things their way, too?

Hmmm?

D'ya think?

COL Curmudgeon's side works with the overarching premise that Bush is bad.
And magically, everything else falls right into place.

He has been proved wrong so now he will talk about the deficit.
