Now, if you want to talk about jobs, just how many were added during
W's 8 years, not many. In fact he came within a few thousand of
having a net loss his first term and overall the figure is under
$19K/month. Pathetic considering population growth needs 150K to 200K
month. Do a little looking into exactly what the unemployment rate is and
how it is
measured and you'll see it is a figure with little meaning.

Yep. Toward the end of the Bush administration, not many jobs were added.

Well, yeah, it's kinda hard to ADD jobs when everybody who wants one is
working! Remember, under Bush, unemployment was down around the 4% level.
Classically, unemployment below 6% is called "full employment."


The savings rate for almost all of the W tenure was negative. The
housing market was artificially inflated by lax policies and no
oversite over lending. All this has to be corrected and it will take
a long time. Financial meltdowns like this always lead to long
recoveries.

Agreed.


There are only two kinds of Republicans, Millionaires and fools.
Which do you fall in?


There's at least one other group - far, far larger than either of the two
you mention. That group consistis of people who aspire to be millionaires.
