Wall Street was expecting 130,000.

Ooops.

1. Are we on track
to get the 3.2 million jobs Bush promised? No? Well, I guess Bush lied to us yet again.

2. and since we need 150,000
to just keep pace with those new entrants....

this is pathetic beyond belief....but you won't hear that anywhere because...

1) Bush has more money than God and will trumpet this as a sign things are better...

2) The media won't do any heavy lifting for the Kerry campaign....it's all on their backs....

4. In Molly Ivans last column, she was pointing out that Cheney has
been on the circuit claiming that without the tax cuts, we wouldn't be seeing the job creation that we are currently seeing! What a laugh riot she said!

If this all I get out the tax cut, raise my stinkin' taxes becasue we owe unemployment taxes this year! It never fails, just when I think the administration can't get any lower, they somehow manage to sink further into the gutter.

9. Yep! And they revised their February projections downward...
based on the much lower than expected January numbers, then what do you know...both months turn out to be lower than anyone (besides DUers) expected.

8. I'd like
to know how many jobs 'we' created by outsourcing to India, the Philippines, etc.

There was an excellent show on C-SPAN this am about outsourcing. Did any of y'all happen to see it?
