[QUOTE="Tyrone Slothrop, post: 77932, member: 4701"] Tieguy, I dont want to fight with you, just trying to present some facts. The reason the dates are different for job losses and job gains is that the jobs lost were in the recession that ended in 2003 and began in 2001. The jobs gained data was from the recovery that started in 2004 through 2005. The average loss in wages across the board is $9000/yr. The wage gap between jobs lost and jobs gained is over 20%. What do I want you to do? I would like you to hold elected representatives responsible. I would like you to admit that Bushs economic policies have not been good for the average American. I would like you to admit that everything bad is not Clintons fault (he had a Repub Congress, remember?). Did you read a bit on global warming? Youre in MD, right? Do you want to lose all those tasty Chesapeake Bay crabs? I dont, and though the mild winter is nice, the increased precipitation East and prolonged drought West is not so good. Remember the spring floods on the East coast last year? Clinton told Bush that global warming was the biggest threat to America, it still is. Last night Bush reiterated his position that America must seek out and destroy tyranny around the world. This is directly opposed to the thoughts of the Founding Fathers. It is our duty to protect Freedom at home and encourage it abroad, not to force it at gunpoint. The Middle East policy is a joke. The road to Democracy in the Muslim world leads directly through the mosque. Im sure that is not what the Cheney Rumsfield - Perle crowd had in mind when they engineered this war of choice. Our greatest threat in other countries is Pakistan. They are only a bullet away from being a radical Islamic State that possesses nuclear weapons. Remember AQ Kahn? My hope is that intelligent people, such as yourself, open their eyes to what is really happening in the world, and stop marching blindly towards their own destruction. Time to get the sweet potatoes ready and throw some more mesquite on the coals, and maybe have a cold one. See you in a couple of days, Ty [/QUOTE]
