Unemployment Not So Black-and-White |
It seems that life under President Bush has been pretty good for the
colored people.
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=20365
Last Tuesday, the National Urban League announced the release of a
report titled "The State of Black America 2007," which includes the
2007 version of the "Equality Index." The Equality Index measures
various economic disparities between blacks and whites.
The report, of course, received a significant amount of media
attention, the majority of it focusing on the report's conclusion that
"glaring gaps continue to exist between black and white Americans."
But what the media has failed to report is that the black unemployment
rate is currently at a lower level than it was throughout the boom
years of Clinton's second term, and has improved tremendously since
Bush's so-called "tax cuts for the wealthy" in 2003.
Throughout Clinton's second term (1997-2000), black unemployment
averaged 8.6%, a bit higher than today's rate of 8.3%. More
significant, however, is that black unemployment has dropped a
whopping 2.7 points since Bush's May 2003 tax cuts.
Work remains to be done, but the implementation of the Bush
Administration's economic policies has helped to dramatically narrow
the economic gap between black and white Americans. Why isn't that the
story?
The bottom line: The Bush tax cuts have been very good for black
employment, and that deserves attention.

That was easy enough for Bush to accomplish. After all,
he doesn't count the long-term unemployed as "unemployed."

How long do you plan to use an expression that you know very well is
derogatory?
Why are you a racist turd, J Young?
Ever wondered why ALL your Friday and Saturday nights are spent alone?

If you had actually conducted some intelligent research into this
phenomena you would have uncovered the fact that black American high
school and college graduation rates increased dramatically during the
Clinton years. Said graduates were then conveniently plopped into
Bush's grocery basket. Of course black employment went up... Clinton's
education programs gifted George with a plethora of deserving young
job hunters.
Again J... you're an idiot. Come back when you have something
substantial to say.
