1. Statistics can support any statement.

Most people see the poor economy. However, most people, even at DU, think that government policies have nothing whatsoever to do with the economics of the country... it's just business cycles, and cycles, you know, are not determined by anything. The repugs are especially funny because when the economy is doing bad they say it is just a cycle, but when it is doing good, they claim it's because of something Raygun did! Very funny stuff.

3. If they have proven they can produce more goods without

adding more jobs, why would the manufacturers hire more people ? This is nothing to crow about.
