Back during Bush I, they had a way of counting how many folks had simply dropped off the jobless roles, stopped getting benefits, but still hadn't managed to find a job. As much as Bush I hated the statistic, Bush The Lesser not only hates the truth of his destruction of the American job market, he's got plenty of cronies in place in government to help hide the fact.

Regardless, is there any reliable estimate of discouraged workers? It most certainly would be a talking point for the General.

Sometimes I wonder why Bush so blatening disregards his reputation in the World by those struggling to survive.

The man seems to have no sense of fairness. He appears to know what a terrible mess he has put the middle class and the poor class in but thinks, Oh Well!

I have a theory, George W. Bush must have been dropped on his head as an baby. It could explain why Bush is so incredibly stupid. Because he just doesn't get it. He keeps saying the economy is good when there is evidence that it isn't. I mean all I have to do is read "The Blade" every morning and there is least one to two articles in the paper that keep saying companies are going out of business. I swear, it's almost as if he allowed these executives to move jobs out of the country and let these job killing free trade and globalization bs policies go through.

Bush only seems stupid to people that believe he should care about america as a whole. He does not. To the corporate elite's he has accomplished amazingly every goal they and his crook friends have/had.
