A dose of reality about the job numbers
There has been 759,000 jobs created in the last 7 months as Drudge is reporting. Now you need 150,000 each month to keep up with the drop off rate. 150,000 X 7(months) =1,050,000(jobs needed)-759,000(job created)=291,000 (jobs short) of keeping up with the drop off rate. So it's over for Bush and any hopes of creating any jobs during his first four years and for his 2.6 million prediction.

1. Moreover, what kinds of jobs are they, anyway ??
Aha, I thought so.
Service-sector. Low-wage. Dead-end.

'Nuff said.
