re: Economics

Jobs have grown between 122,000 (according to the Department of Labor's “establishment survey�) and 983,000 (according to the “household survey�), . . .

These impressive economic statistics are largely the result of growth policies enacted by the Bush administration.

Dang! Those are impressive economic statistics! Particularly the jobs increase of between 122,000 and 983,000 over the last year. Of course when you consider that a job increase of between 125,000-150,000 per month is needed just to break even with the increase in
people needing jobs, the statistics don't look quite so "impressive." Some might say pitiful, even.

Last I heard, about 50% of black men in America didn't have jobs. Let's hope they own enough stock to keep from starving. If they aren't participating in this "impressive" economic growth brought about by the Bush administration, would it be asking too much for them to quietly starve to death without causing trouble?
