Once again, the masses are blind. You know what to do, folks. Let him have it. :)

"Seeing the economic peril of our country, President Bush and the Congress made those tax cuts retroactive in the summer of 2003. Is it not interesting then, that our economy experienced the greatest growth domestic product growth in 20 years in the last quarter of 2003? Since then, roughly 700,000 jobs have been created, with 308,000 being created just last month."

1. Thanks to...

the California grocery workers ending their strike,

generous employers offering part time work (no benefits)

a host of other questionable jobs hidden inside the numbers


Thanks for really examining the numbers and giving your pResident* the benefit of the doubt.

2. The only thing Bush's tax cuts have created

is the largest deficit in the history of the United States.

3. Kick for those getting to work!

Please use the "opinion" thing on this article to present an alternate viewpoint. :)

4. AND IF YOU DO THE MATH

only 78,400 jobs (average) were created each month in the previous five months, with the ENTIRE 26000 in February NOT being created in the private sector but by Government agencies.

What they don't tell you are the number of layoffs that occur. These aren't net job gains, these are 'payroll' jobs created.

Remember the Kon mantra:

BUSH IS GOD, BUSH CAN DO NO WRONG, BUSH NEVER LIED, BUSH CAN DO NO WRONG

Once you've memorized that, you'll understand why they are brain dead.

Or maybe they are all aliens.

5. What are you complaining about? Bush's cuts HAVE created jobs!

...Maids, chauffers, butlers, poolboys, gardeners, dog washers, cooks, stableboys, corporate jet pilots, valets, shoe shiners, "personal assistants", nannys...the list of downstairs jobs goes on!
:puke:

8. You're forgetting that he's creating jobs--

it's just that the good ones are being created overseass. We're soooo lucky, aren't we, to have such a good man leading us. :eyes:

6. Kerry doing nothing to deflate this lie

This is the Right's BIG LIE that will not die. The Right clings to it because the ONLY way to sell irresponsible tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy is to pretend such tax cuts benefit everyone. But I see Kerry doing nothing to deflate this lie. It SHOULD be simple...

ALL recessions end and tax cuts are not required. The Right claims such low tax rates motivate people to invest more and be more productive... but they also praise the "JFK" tax cuts when the top rate was 70%. They later say those same rates are oppressive. Clinton proved that a judicious tax hike did NOT cause a recession as the tax cut psychos claimed.

7. Most of them are...

Most of them are government jobs, so say goodbye to the party of small government. Now, with the tax cuts and deficits, Kerry will face huge problems when he legally takes control of the WH and be faced with a no win situation of raising taxes back to where they were or to cut important government programs. Thanks for the fiscal responsibility Mr. Shrub.
