This is why things are the way they are.
I wish the press would report the news and not try to use thier position to change the world.
I guess they call it a "LIBERAL arts digree"
:rolleyes:
Any wonder why the media is trusted less and less,
example:
The story also included the false claim by Senator Kerry that, “The President has presided over an economy where we’ve lost 1.6 million jobs. The first President in 72 years to lose jobs.” Readers had to consult a separate article by Post reporters Glenn Kessler and Ceci Connolly to know that wasn’t true. “Kerry at one point said that ‘the President has presided over an economy where we’ve lost 1.6 million jobs.’ Kerry misspoke. He meant to qualify that statistic by referring to ‘private sector’ jobs. The net number of jobs lost since Bush became President is about 800,000, because of growth in the public sector.”
Another:
But they can do better. CBS Evening News reporter Sharyl Atkisson presented a story on September 1, 1996, where she referred to 5.4 percent unemployment as, “Low unemployment” and part of, “a strong economy…” She was right then and, since the numbers are similar and unemployment is identical in 2004, she would be correct now. The problem was not her initial reporting, but it is how the media report the issue when a Republican is President. If you have relatively the same economic numbers, then why isn’t it the same story?

"because of growth in the public sector"
800 000 new public sector employees. Thats conservative power for you!
The whole time hes screaming that kerry will grow goverment.
-
""public sector"" thats school teachers , school bus drivers, police, fireman,city workers, country workers,state workers.
in my county they had to hire 200 new school bus drivers because of a 'school choice' program that the people wanted, one of my out of work neighbors got one of the driver jobs.
i'm sure that the 200 new drivers really hate the fact they have a "public sector" job with good pay and retirement benfits.

Check which sector the growth is in and get back to me, Pongo, along with the source for that 3 trillion dollar figue you pulled out of your ass.

"One Economy, Two Spins"
Heheh, comparing 2004 and 1996 eh? Why not compare an aggregate of the entire Presidentcies? The US has alot ground to make up for the recession at the being of Bush's Presidentcy.

You can spin it anyway you like.
when you find out I was correct(well 2.4 billion) will you hate bush? No you will find an excuse..probably out of your ass..the same place so many bush excuses and lies seem to come from.

In my world, there is a small amount of difference between 2.4 billon and three trillion. Study your numbers, boy, and you might learn the dif.
-
Ya my mistake.
2.4 trillion.
"Another issue is that the numbers do not count other shortfalls and leakage. For instance, in the 2003 projection, the U.S. Department of the Treasury used a $2.4 trillion Social Security surplus to offset its cash shortfall. "
Nothing to say I bet.
No I didnt think so.
Arent you the pathetic slavish follower of the worst leader the western world will know in our lifetimes...

He may be bad, but your math is worse, worse even than Senator Kerrys.

and if there is? what are you going to do about it? what CAN you do about it without being worse than what your trying to stop? hell, as long as your aware of the bias, any rational, normal, reasonably intelligent person can seperate the spin.

exactly. you'll say nothing.
Your great leader transfered 2.4 trillion dollars from the social security pile to cover deficit. Or the deficit would be what..over 4 trillion dollars.
Now seeing that you can say nothing.
kerry kerry kerry.
Thats allright Bush is used to doing things that he will never pay the price for. It is the story of his life.
He wont need social security.
-
I'm sorry, did you document that number and I missed it?
-
shreck, all this whining about a mere two-point-something trillion. Who do I make out the check to? Anything to stop this whining.
-
I gave you the full link to the whole article in the other thread. Just like you asked. I posted the relevent quote from it here.
-
OK, I'll find it.

Ahhh finally someone actually clicked on the link:aok
that 800,000 doesnt take into accoount the over 1 million jobs lost due to 911.
And those like myself that moved to self employment
