According to a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics 200,000 fewer employees per week are taking time off for health or other personal or medical reasons than in 2000.

Apparently the lack of jobs is part of a positive stategy of health care by the Bush. This should provide some comfort food for Tom's mind.

Inverness Golf Club in Denver reports the further benfit of Bush's domestic policy has provided easier access to tee times. It seems that play is down 20% making it easier to get on the course.

Additionally, Robert Mondavi reports sales of Cabernet down 6% and foie gras sales are also down.

It appears positive benefits are flowing from the administration policies after all.
