Bush says this is manufacturing...

[midnight Target]

It would be quite Mr.Blackish of me to claim that I was just making a point.

I will admit that the article is biased, however I still think that the administration is floating a trial balloon here. Bringing up the "fuzzy" nature of the definition of manufacturing was not done just for conversation.

'you SAID the article SAID the report SAID....

you honor, i object, inadmissable hersay.....


auto "assembly" plants should not be "manufacturing" jobs, all they do is put parts together.

[ravells]

That's probably the nub of it, MT.

Has the term 'Mr Blackish' now become accepted BBS lingo?

Or is this thread just an attempt to show thud that the anti-Bush BS is every bit as retarded/prevelent as the anti-kerry BS?

Mini, I think you ment VP Dan Quale. He was responsable for that quote during the '92 campaign along with many, many more.

No... I'm thinking bill clinton.  I imagine many others may have said it too... but I was thinking clinton was definately one of them.

I want to show you an optimistic sign that things are beginning to turn around.
-- Vice President Dan Quayle trying to convince reporters that the economy was doing better because a Burger King had a ``now hiring'' sign in the window. He was campaigning for re-election in Ontario, CA, 1/17/92 (reported in Esquire, 8/92).

You have a part-time job, and that's better than no job at all.
-- Vice President Dan Quayle after the manager of the Burger King had said that the jobs offered were part-time minimum wage jobs, which didn't pay enough to live on, and that ``It's hard to find people who want to actually show up for the job.''

Ever heard of this theory of ``trickle down?'' That's ridiculous. We're talking about trickling up. We're talking about climbing up the ladder.
-- Vice President Dan Quayle trying to encourage teenage students in Salinas, California to push themselves in school (The Fresno Bee, 5/19/92, taken from The Quayle Quarterly, Summer/Fall 1992).

Bill Clinton is not responsable for everything.

Have you dissected a McNugget lately?  It's most definitely manufacturing.

Anyways, manufacturing is to the 21st century what agriculture was to the 19th and 20th centuries.  It will employ a smaller and smaller proportion of the population, and our economy will be stronger as a result.

proper fun would start if China will do the same

Uh. No it won't.

[Mini D]

RPM... you seemed to be hung up on something... Dan Quale must have been the only one that said that... because you quoted an article.  Of course, I couldn't have seen Clinton say the same thing to a news crew.

Of course, all of this has little to do with the fact that Bush didn't say what he's given credit for in the start of this thread.

So... what was that about anti-bush BS again?

Nonsense - it's a matter of historical fact that as the percentage of population involved in manufacturing has decreased, productivity, output, and (material) standard of living have increased.
