- All true, but the job situation is still very bad. If it does not improve, Bush will lose the election. (n/t) - David F Mayer - 3/26/2004 10:12:07 PM
  - The unemployment rate is 5.6 percent - Tom Brosz - 3/27/2004 2:59:27 AM
    - I do NOT believe that number. Unemployment must be guaged as the percentage of persons of a certain age group in good health - David F Mayer - 3/28/2004 4:06:38 AM
      - Look, you can cook the numbers until you're blue in the face - Tom Brosz - 3/28/2004 7:44:01 AM
        
        I am not interested in "cooking numbers", but the fact remains that unemployment is quite high. - David F Mayer - 3/28/2004 9:07:18 PM

        Not at all. It gives an INVARIANT way of looking at the picture. - David F Mayer - 3/29/2004 5:35:03 PM
