1. The problem is they
are working at Wal Mart and a second job on the night shift at Burger King. See they have two jobs now instead of one.

3. 5th grade arithmetic says it's the %, not the raw numbers
why does our national dialog always forget that it is the proportions that measure and not the raw numbers? once again, the mentally deficient media, politicians, and electorate, unable to handle that which we learned by the 5th grade.

4. The country's population is bigger
and Taco Bell and WalMart employ people. This is true.

5. Tell that to people like me who just lost another temp-to-hire job (on
Friday) because the economy has gone down the proverbial poop schute.

Working at a title company, or was. But business is so bad they got rid of four of us. I was supposed to go over to a major bank loan dept., but they froze all hiring of outside help all of a sudden. I saw it coming and told the employment agency but they told me I was wrong. The they grudgingly had to admit I warned them.

That's no consolation as I am now faced with losing my home and have no money coming in.

Republicans need to hang their heads in shame. To think that they'd support bush* and his policies just because of partisan politics when they can see, just like the rest of us, what a horrible state the guy has brought us to. I guess the official mantra of the party should be "So what if our guy is an AWOL lying idiot, keep a republican in the White House at all costs."

6. Mfg is up!
McDonalds manufactured more burgers than ever this year. And I'm talking high tech burgers, with tomatoes.

I can't take the lying much longer, seriously.
