Happy days are here again. Bush says we're gonna ..get...2.6 miilion...jobs..in..9...months? |
Good times are here again!
The Bush adminstration announced last week that they would create a
staggering 2.6 million jobs this year - that's 220,000 new jobs a
month.
Are you ready for full employment?!
They got off to a great start, creating 112,000 jobs in January.
Wait, that's 108,000 off their projections.
Don't worry though - Our Great Leader has a fabulous plan for creating
more jobs in America.
We're going to send more jobs overseas!
According to the Los Angeles Times, the Bush adminstration reckons
that, "The movement of American factory jobs and white-collar work to
other countries is part of a positive transformation that will enrich
the U.S. economy over time."
O-o-o-kay.
You can expect these recent predictions to go down about as well as
the last lot - in 2003 the administration predicted a gain of 1.7
million new jobs (they lost 439,000), and in 2002 they predicted they
would lose 100,000 jobs (they lost 1.45 million).
You know what I think we need?
More tax cuts for the rich.

Under Fire Over Jobs, Bush Hones Upbeat Message
Mon February 16, 2004 04:16 PM ET
TAMPA, Fla. (Reuters) - President Bush stepped up a counter-offensive
against his Democratic rivals on the economy, boldly talking up the
recovery on Monday to counter complaints about the unemployed and jobs
moving overseas.
Contrary to recent polls and the election-year charges of his
presidential challengers, Bush said there was an "undeniable" sense of
optimism about the economy.
Democrats accused the Republican president of being out of touch.
Nearly 2.8 million factory jobs have been lost since Bush took office
and the issue looms large ahead of November's vote.
During a 49-minute round-table at a Tampa window and door factory,
Bush described the economy as "strong" four times, expressed optimism
repeatedly, and said how "upbeat" he was another four times.
Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry countered that such
appearances were more about "creating photo opportunities than job
opportunities."
Bush acknowledged that "a lot of economic growth depends upon the
psychology of the people making decisions all throughout our economy."
He did his part on Monday to shape that "psychology."
"You can say, 'Well of course, they just pick the upbeat people.'
Well, the truth of the matter is people are pretty upbeat all over the
country. That's what I'm here to report to you," he said.
Bush's goal is to reverse his slide in recent polls by boosting
confidence in his economic stewardship.
An ABC News/Washington Post survey released on Friday found Bush at a
low point in public approval, his popularity depressed by questions
about the Iraq war, continued economic frustration and interest in his
leading Democratic rival.
In his remarks at NuAir Manufacturing in Tampa, Bush steered clear of
negative economic news, including a recent report showing Americans
turned increasingly cautious on the economy. Analysts say weak jobs
creation has dampened consumer confidence despite a strengthening U.S.
economy.
Bush seized on NuAir's hopes to hire 40 more workers this year. "Forty
workers here, five workers there, begin to add up," he said. It was
his 19th visit to the state as president.
Sen. Bob Graham, a Florida Democrat, derided Bush's two-day visit to
the state that was at the center of the 2000 ballot recount
controversy. "Had he spent a little more time, he would have seen some
of the suffering people," he said.
'THINGS ARE LOOKING BETTER'
Bush made no mention of the controversy surrounding the chairman of
the White House Council of Economic Advisers, Gregory Mankiw, who
praised the shifting of U.S. jobs abroad.
"The facts bear me out," Bush said. "The last six months of growth
have been tremendous. Housing starts are way up. Inflation is low.
Interest is low. New jobs are being created ... Things are looking
better for America."
"There's an optimism in our country that is undeniable," he added.
"The key question is: Are we wise enough to ... keep the policies in
place that encourage growth."
He called on Congress to make his tax cuts permanent -- a move
Democrats say will benefit the rich and increase an already record
$500-billion-plus budget deficit.
Bush did his part for the Tampa economy on Sunday night.
After mixing with the masses at the Daytona 500 stock-car race, the
president and his wife settled in at Tampa's exclusive Bern's Steak
House with local political allies.
The restaurant's dinner menu boasts $60.68 porterhouse steaks, golden
Iranian caviar for $92 a serving, and 150- to 200-year-old bottles of
wine including an 1851 Gruaud Larose for $10,000.

Somebody ought to compute how many dollars in tax cuts it took for
Bush to LOSE each job.
Clearly that does not work.
