Name one WH policy that can be attributed to the projected job growth...

[politicaholic]

I personally think that the tax cuts haven't done crap to stimulate the economy.

Here's what I would attribute it to: Necessity. Companies are going to grow regardless and despite of policy.

what do you think?

1. Grim, but ...

... the overly aggressive military policy of the Bushista Regime is obviously stimulating the funerary business in this country.

2. Worst Job Performance Since The Bureau of Labor Statistics Began

Job recovery still lags far behind

Payroll jobs are now 332,000, or 0.3%, greater than at the start of the recession 47 months ago (March 2001). However, private-sector jobs are still down by 477,000, a contraction of 0.4%. The 809,000 jobs created in the government sector in this time explain the difference between growth in total payroll and private-sector jobs. Overall, this level of creation represents the worst job performance since the Bureau of Labor Statistics began collecting monthly jobs data in 1939 (at the end of the Great Depression). In the three downturns since the early 1970s, the economy had not only recovered all the jobs lost during the recession but had also generated 6.0% more jobs (6.1% more private-sector jobs) than existed at the start of the recession. If this historical standard had prevailed in the private sector, the economy would have 7,282,000 more private-sector jobs today.

3. Bush's Missing 11.3 Million Jobs

Comstock Partners, Inc.

Employment Numbers Without the Spin
March 10, 2005

Last Friday the report that February payroll employment increased by a monthly 262,000 was greeted with great enthusiasm by the stock market and most economists. This was the 39th month since the official recession bottom in November 2001. The following is an attempt to put this number into perspective without the spin.

In the previous five expansionary economic cycles the average increase in employment over the first 39 months was 10.1%. In the current cycle the increase is 1.5%.

If employment had climbed by 10.1 % since November 2001, we would have added 13.2 million jobs instead of the 1.9 million actually reported. That’s a difference of 11.3 million jobs.

If we did add 13.2 million jobs on the current cycle, the average monthly increase would have amounted to 338,000. Instead the monthly average increase has been only 50,000, and we have exceeded 300,000 in only three separate months out of the 39.

Snip ....

13. His Tax Cuts For The Wealthy Prevented A Normal Economic Recovery

Myself and thousands of other professionals have suffered through a job creation drought - the jobless recovery.

I hold degrees in Electrical Engineering and Business Administration.
I have 15 + years of professional work experience.
I am an honorably discharged Navel Officer.
I am also a FAA certified commercial pilot.

With over 3,000 resumes out the door, I have yet to find suitable employment.

I cannot even find unsuitable employment because of my age and experience.

So, Bush's polices have directly impacted me.

4. Well, since a lot of transactions are online anymore

I can't see how the tax cuts for the upper 1 percent has helped the "tourism" industry - now that they can just transfer the money electronically and never leave the US to put money in the "offshore accounts" . . .
