Bush defends economic policy
By Leticia Williams, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 1:49 PM ET Sept. 1, 2003

snip....
The comments come as unemployment continues to trouble the U.S. economy. About 2.5 million of 3 million jobs lost since Bush came to office in January 2001 have been in manufacturing.

U.S. manufacturers have said they're losing jobs to overseas markets due to more lenient labor laws. See related story.

Bush also acknowledged "a problem with the manufacturing sector" and said he has instructed Commerce Secretary Don Evans to focus resources on the needs of the manufacturing industry.

Now that sounds like a leader with solutions....

He and others set up the trade agreements that increase such job exporting...and then he blames it cheap labor.....
