seems to be. you keep saying how the economy sucks, but it's growing.

ninty 07-26-2005 09:44 PM

Again, as I stated before, I was referring to the past 5 years, not just the past couple months.

it better be growing back, considering the fact that he wrecked it when he took office. how many differant ways can bush use 9/11 to cover his ass? economy, terrorism, homeland security? you name it, he uses 9/11 to push every shitty agenda he has.

c312 07-27-2005 02:36 PM

how did he wreck it when he came into office?

Jin-Roh 07-27-2005 04:00 PM

He did. It's not like he's the only that has, either.

c312 07-27-2005 04:35 PM

Ok, you've said he did, but tell me what he did to do it.

Jin-Roh 07-27-2005 04:38 PM

It's not just him. oOo:

c312 07-27-2005 04:39 PM

so you don't know or you just don't want to tell me? or are you just buying into what everyone is saying? I just want to make sure cause you said something, and I want you to tell me your reasoning behind it if you have any.

I hope ninty will come soon and contribute to this discussion further

interesting article:

http://slate.msn.com/id/2085481/

c312 07-27-2005 06:17 PM

ok, now there is a good response.

That article says that Bush has lost this many jobs and that many jobs, but the fact is, by the end his first term, all of the jobs lost since the beginning of the term had been regained.

can you find a source?

i looked for a long time on economic statistics, but their really hard to find for some reason.

c312 07-27-2005 06:21 PM

Washington Post.

I don't have the specific articles but we read each month's official jobs reviews in economic class throughout the year.

I also can't find the specific articles in the archive because WP makes you pay to search through archives I beleive but if you really want them I can figure something out.
I thought it was pretty big news though that the job numbers had rebounded before the term ended because they were trying to say that he was the first president to finish a term with fewer jobs than when he started right at election time but ended up not being able to put that on him because they rebounded to the preterm number by fall of 2004.

And you're right about economic statistics, I think they are hard to find because a lot of the articles are on news databases that change daily so the articles are either lost in archives or just forgotten about and removed since they aren't new.
