no doubts

Even if that estimate is valid (it may be over, or under, estimating), remember that Bush himself claimed that his tax cuts would produce 300,000+ jobs every month from the inception of the cuts until the end of 2004.

Here's the data on how well he's been able to fulfill on that promise:

Quite frankly, I find someone invoking 9-11 as the reason behind every failure of policy cowardly and insincere. These are numbers laid out by Bush when the white house, the senate AND congress are all controlled by republicans. If you can't come through on your promises when there's no major obstacles to doing so, then those promises are obviously bogus.

Not only has he failed to live up to his country's expectations, he's failed to live up to his own.

http://www.georgewbush.com - check out the part where he says he will make it more economical to manufactor in america...

It's a fact 1 million jobs were lost in the month after 911...

Ok, here is something to chew on about issues... On how its easy to promise...

Kerry last night in his speech threw all 3 of these at the people.... 1.) He is going to provide healthcare to everyone 2.) Tax Cuts for the Middle Class 3.) He then bitched about the current Adminstration Deficit

Now I don't know the details of his health care plan or his tax increase on the top 2%... But, something does not add up to me..

You mean the 10% that actually pays taxes.

Do not start this rant about tax cuts for the 'rich'. Until you start paying in excess of $100K a year, you have no right to point fingers on tax issues.

The other issue is, he assumes everyone wants his health insurance. I do not want ANYTHING paid for by the government. They have proven time and time again, to be the biggest wasters of money.

They will give me health care, which I don't want, and then raise my taxes another 10%.

Fuck them.

I'm sure you'll let us all know when you've finished paving that section of highway, hired your personal police officer, opened up your own courthouse, equipped your own millitia...

Taxes are the dues you pay to live in a free society that protects you and provides a framework for commerce and law. Saying that you don't want to pay taxes is saying that you want to exploit all those services that everyone's paid for without giving back your fair share. It's unpatriotic, it's not fair, and it's just plain wrong.

Well, this was written in 8/2002 and was an ESTIMATION of what they THOUGHT would happen in the FUTURE.

I'd rather stick to CURRENT stats.

WHY HASN'T HE ALREADY DONE THIS THEN?
And he doesn't give ANY specifics. Pretty important on policy matters.

For how long? A couple of months until the offices lost in the trade towers got relocated and new people were hired to kill those in the towers?

This is a NON-ENTITY figure being thrown around of "1 million jobs lost due to 9/11". It was nothing more than speculation.

Man..if you pubes didn't have 9/11 as a fall back for EVERY argument (Iraq, the Economy, health care, etc), you'd have NOTHING to stand on would ya?

Dude..you've already LOST this argument if you're talking about MY earnings! :1orglaugh

Great! Give it to someone in Brooklyn then..there will be no shortage of takers!

Uh... I think you meant to say "to replace those killed". Unless you know something I don't.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh Some of the best messages happen when the hands typing are WAY faster than the brain.

Thanks for pointing that out.
