I see it was announced today that the "corrupt fascist assholes'"
economy grew 9.1% in 2003, how's your model going, or does Bush
need more guns? :-)

That's the Federal deficit paying for more goverment employees, right?

And on the jobs front .... at long, long last 500 net new
jobs last month IIRC nationwide. First time it was not a net loss
since the shrub took office IIRC.
But they stopped counting most of the longer term unemployed as
unemployed too. Terminated the unemployment benefits.

I'd expect many of those new jobs are to replace folks now in
Iraq. 500+ US dead there ..... and just thinkhow much all those
new Federal hires and related produce in terms of real goods &
services .... is one $250/Hr lawyer worth 40 $6.25/Hr employees
from Mexico (in terms of GNP)?
