Yet, gas is higher than 15 years ago, so is rent, so are motor vehicle fees, so are taxes, so is food, so is milk, so is the phone bill, so is the electric bill...
And if someone who was doing those jobs 15 years ago hasn't increased their marketable skill set in the past 15 years, then they have locked themselves into their situation, not the economy, and certainly not President Bush.

I got my degree in 93, started engineering in 95, got laid off from Engineering in 2001, havent had ANY steady work since!
Actually, I havent had any steady work since 99! The telecom company I stared with in 99 collapsed almost in 2001. They are still a ghost town in manufacturing, but they sure opened up a company in Ireland that is booming!
