OK then, let's look at that ...

• Between Feb 1989 and Feb 1993, the number of jobs increased by 1.6% (1,396,000 people)
• Between Feb 1993 and Feb 2001, the number of jobs increased by 22.9% (20,448,000 people)
• Between Feb 2001 and Feb 2003, the number of jobs decreased by 2.7% (2,975,000 people)

So, Commander Codpiece vacationed while 3 million people lost their jobs. At the same time, the protofascist sycophants in Congress further devalued labor by creating even greater inequities between the taxation of 'earned' (by laboring) and 'unearned' (from somebody else's labor or merely from greater fools) income -- labor is taxed at more than double the rate of usury. :eyes:
