For my 700th post....Predict How Many New August Jobs Bush Claims Tonight

[Arbustosux]

Whatever the number, you can be sure it will be grossly overestimated and subject to revision next month.....

1. tis obvious that lies, lies and more lies are of no

matter to Bush and Thugs since they've been doing it from the get-go AND GETTING AWAY W/ IT! Nobody's pulled back the wizard's curtain to reveal them for whom they really are. And Karl Rove is taking it to the bank.

2. Somewhere between

300,000 and 500,000.

3. It will never come up he never talks in "specifics"

Just broad general themes. like, "Social security is gone, now you can make your own choices mr. 67 year old."

4. I like how they are bragging...

I like how Republicans brag that the economy has created 1.5 million jobs in the past 10 months - like that is something good!

1.5 million jobs would be an average 6 month period under Clinton.

1.5 million jobs in 10 months barely keeps up with the growing population - the economy needs to create about 150,000 jobs a month just to keep up with the growing population entering the workforce. Some economists think 150,000 a month is a low number, so creating only 150,000 a month is actually a net loss!

5. Are you including McDonald's fry-jockeys and grocery baggers?

And no offense to those persons is meant. It's just that whenever BushCo talks about jobs, there's never a mention of decent living wages.
