>>>>>>>But that reflected the decisions of 309,000 people to either stop working or stop looking for jobs, which means they are no longer counted as part of the labor force.

OK, let's cut to the chase.

1) Out of those 309,000, how many do you believe will starve to death. Why arn't they still out hunting? If I wasn't eating on a regular basis or was having to explain to the wife and kids why they were two weeks away from living in the cab of a Chevy Pick-Up truck, I'd stay motivated.

2) What specific policy recommendation would you like to see GWB suggest to Congress to rectify this problem? In other words, rather than bemoaning the lack of employment in certain sectors, what should be done to clean this up? Remember, crying about spilled milk until it turns rancid just stinks up the room.

1: Never said they would. They will go on food-stamps/welfare and drive the taxes up for those that are still working.

2a: Stop insuring the overseas operations/plants of US companies with US tax-dollars.

2b:All money spend by the Federal government, unless a valid reason is found not too, must be spent with US companies employing US workers. After all these companies depend on the US legal/military system to keep going so they should repay that by creating jobs here.

I think lowering the minimum wage would go a long way in helping unemployment. I don't think 5% unemployment is that bad anyway. Probably many of those people are slackers anyway.

[Huck]

You have shifted from "it isn't a jobless recovery" to "what do you recommend we do?" Are you conceding the point about lost jobs? Just spectating here, but I would like clarification if you please.
