From WHAT? Even the puppet "9/11 Commission" said that Iraq under
Hussein was NO THREAT TO THE US. Soldiers in Iraq have NO way to
"protect" us from the sleeper cells that Bush has activated because of
his "war for oil" going on over there. I know EXACTLY what's going on
over there...my kid just got done with his FOURTH TOUR. I get my info
right from the action. You get yours from deluded right wing trash.

Why don't YOU go over there, Noodles? You ****ing fool...I hope
someone takes you apart soon.

no matter- you lost the election and both houses !

Yes...clueless morons like you, who are ****ing our country up into a

The Great American Jobs Machine
August 8, 2005; Page A10

We would like to take a moment to pause and marvel at the U.S. economy.
Friday's Labor Department report of more than 200,000 new jobs in July,
and two million over the past year, provides the latest bullish
details. But the larger story of American job creation, and its causes,
is even more impressive.

First, more Americans have jobs today than at any other time in
history. Second, over the past two decades or so, the U.S. has created
more than 40 million jobs -- twice as many as Europe and Japan
combined. And third, the U.S. has one of the lowest jobless rates of
all developed nations.


It was only a year ago that John Kerry was blasting the "jobless
recovery." Lou Dobbs was flogging "outsourcing" every night on CNN as a
sign of peril for the American workforce. That criticism now looks
wildly off base. The 5% jobless rate today is almost a percentage point
below what it was during the same stage of the business cycle during
the vaunted "Clinton expansion."

In the past 24 months 3.5 million more Americans have found work, which
is the equivalent of a new job for every worker in the entire state of
Indiana. Every single job that was lost during the bursting of the
technology bubble and stock market collapse of 2000-01 has been matched
by a new job, often in a new industry. As the nearby chart shows, the
bottom of the jobs recession hit in mid-2003 -- and the recovery began
at the very point that the Bush marginal-rate tax cuts were enacted
into law.

But just when it seemed there was reason to celebrate, a new study by
the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston warns that the low U.S. unemployment
rate is a "false signal" of prosperity. Why? Because American workers
are allegedly becoming discouraged in their quest to find work, and
this surge in drop-out workers brings the real jobless rate to between
6% and 8%. The evidence for a surge in discouraged workers is that the
percentage of working age Americans in the labor force has fallen from
an all-time high of 67.3% to 66.0% today. If this seems worrisome, it
isn't. The average labor force participation rate for the post-World
War II period is 63% -- well below today's rate.

Labor economist Diana Furchtgott-Roth of the Hudson Institute has
thoroughly refuted the Boston Fed study. She finds that "most
non-participants are out of the labor force by choice -- in school,
parenting their children, or retired early." Since one's future wages
and employment opportunities are highly correlated with years of
education, this trend toward kids staying in school longer augurs well,
not poorly, for the next generation of workers.

Ms. Furchtgott-Roth also discovered that the decline in labor force
participation for women is mostly a reflection of good economic times
and rising incomes. With median family income now above $52,000 a year,
more families can maintain a comfortable lifestyle with one spouse
working rather than two. Ironically, for years critics of the U.S.
economy have complained that Americans are "overworked" and that "it
now takes two incomes to produce the living standard that once required
just a working father." To the U.S. bashers, it is a sign of decline if
more people are working, and it is just as bad if fewer people are
working.

Workers do get discouraged from finding a job when they are unemployed
for a long stretch of time. But the percentage of "long-term
unemployed" workers is about two percentage points lower than it was in
the same stage of the Clinton expansion. In Japan and France the share
of long-term unemployed workers is three times higher than in the U.S.
Germany's rate is four times higher. If America's unemployed are
"discouraged," French and German workers must be feeling absolutely
suicidal.

None of this is meant to ignore the reality that the rapidly evolving
American economy has created turmoil for many workers. In particular,
older Americans in declining blue collar occupations are feeling the
sting of global competition. We are undeniably losing some
manufacturing jobs over time (although manufacturing output has risen
as a result of new technology and productivity gains).

But those positions are being rapidly replaced with information,
technology and service jobs -- most of which pay more than factory work
and are less physically grueling. For a quarter century the U.S. has
demonstrated an unrivaled capacity to transition into the information
age with record numbers of jobs gained, not lost. And we have done so
while absorbing millions of baby boomers, women, and immigrants into
our workforce with no increase in unemployment.

Part of the explanation for this success is that, especially compared
to Europe, the U.S. has imposed fewer taxes and regulations (even
though we have plenty) that make it onerous for employers to hire and
fire workers. A unique feature of the U.S. economy is that Americans
move in and out of jobs -- usually to rise up the income elevator -- at
a rapid and persistent pace. This is the key to the Great American Jobs
Machine, and it explains why Europe and Japan should be more like us,
and not the other way around.

There IS no "job recovery." The Bushies fail to tell their sycophants
that 80% of the NEW jobs added since he took over have been LOW PAYING
SERVICE INDUSTRY JOBS. That's a fact, not BS, like Noodles posts.

The US is going down a big, big toilet...thanks to George ****ing
Bush.

A quick check shows that more than half of these "quotes" are
fabrications, a favorite new thing the right wing does to bolster
their untennable positions. Figures Noodles would fall for it.
