From a New York Times editorial, 7/3/04:

The Sluggish Wage Recovery
The economy has still lost 1.1 million more jobs than it has gained on
his watch, leaving Mr. Bush at risk of being the first president since
Herbert Hoover to preside over a net loss of jobs.
In his rosy remarks yesterday, Mr. Bush also failed to mention that
average hourly earnings have not kept up with inflation in the last
year.
They are up only 2 percent.
Nor did he mention that his huge tax cuts for the affluent have done
little to help those living from paycheck to paycheck.
The nation's impressive productivity growth will make it difficult to
significantly reduce the 5.6 percent unemployment rate.
And in the absence of a tighter labor market, there is little chance
that workers will see wages increase anywhere near as much as
corporate profits have.
Indeed, take-home pay, as a share of the economy, is at its lowest
level since the government started keeping track in 1929.
All of this suggests that the recovery remains a work in progress for
many Americans.

this excerpt didn't mention the deficit-balloon,
which, of course, is secured by foreign creditors. also,
much of the war-production, even some logistics (or,
maybe, it's just the Army's help-desk
that's in India), is thoroughly outsourced.
well, it's from the "liberal" NYTimes,
as *well* as from the goment, itself -- can't be, So!

thus saith:
the Confederacy was a Britsh satrapy; abundant proof
of this at http://members.tripod.com/~american_almanac
-- thank *you*.
You're actually saying that having a flag is an attempt to destroy our
union? Any flag? Or just the ones that had the confederate flag? Those
flags already had the confederate flag in it. They (your non-patriotic
thus saith:
a left- or rightwingnut would ignore, what it was
that Al actually did to lose Arkansas' 3 EC votes,
involving the Voting Rights Act and the Supreme Court. and,
they'd also allow the "R" Florida Fiasco
to insitute the Help America Vote Act,
covering-up the fact taht *all* extant sytems are tabulated
by a computer.

to note that this Sophist diagram puts the "Moderate"
as being anywhere from one to four fifths "self-governing"
on both "personal" and "economic" behavior;
you can guess the other categories therefrom.
A liberal person would say that ALGORE drew MORE VOTES THAN BUSH!!!!!!
thus saith:
funny, you should mention the Voting Rights Act along
with Limbaugh's campaign to re-erect Cheeny -- and
a plug for American Express.
oh, sorry; you're not *allowed* to talk
about the deal that Al made with the Supremes,
before the election.
anyway, you consistently misinterpret
-- just like most of the left & right media, do --
the whole problem of oil in "the middle east,"
which is already under the Protocol of the Elders
of Kyoto (sik). but it's impossible (for me)
to tell, how much of the recent/soon increases
are due to this "technical" measure, and
how much due to inciting the whole "islamic" jihad,
against US. in any case,
all of the media are preparing us for "Hubbert's Peak."
OxyRush was put on the armed forces radio by the Pentagon in 2001, most
Or more than likely that the solders voted to have the program, even though it
wasn't on the list. And even then, it was cut down to the first hour of the
hear is the typical liberal "oil war" crap and instead, listen to a real
American express his gratitude for the work and sacrifice that these solders
have given. This attempt to get rid of this show is nothing less than the Al
Gore people sending out memos on how to disregard the military vote during the
Presidential elections in Florida. It stunk then and it certainly stinks now.
thus saith:
ketchup is the Original Space Food -- thank you. esp. since
Reagan was vindicated with the uncovery of lycopene.
anyway, the main influence of rich folks is
through the foundations they establish or support. so,
why is PBS considered to be "liberal" or "left" -- or
is it? -- when so much of its product is funded
by Pew, Smith-Richardson, AIG etc. ad vomitorium?... or,
as they (used to) call it at LaRouche HQ,
the Eastern Liberal Establishment.
they were the ones, on the wayside,
who trashed Lyn's SDI, turning it
into a bogus "kinetic kill" programme (not totally bogus;
there's no reason why tests of those should have
to always hit their targets, under all conditions;
that's just "liberal media hysteria," I guess).
OK, OK, OK, we hear you. Her control of the Strategic Ketchup Reserves
gives her unprecedented control of a vital national and international
resource. Perhaps some sort of limiting legislation IS called for.
