i need some help. my latest union newsletter is so hateful to Bush is made me sick. i think a union is a good balance to management but ours, like so many others is a lapdog of the libs.
i am writing an artical to counter all this crap but i need some help.
1.the "job loss" of Bush. can someone site a sourcetopic.
showing the huge turn around Bush made to the positive.
2.why bush was better for postal workers then kerry
3.truth about postal reform and the postal commission.
4.and this is the BIG one, why do conservative letter carriers who support their union not vote for the liberal ticket the union endorses.
My favorite thing to note is that unemployment was lower the month of Bush's re-election to his 2nd term than it was during Clinton's re-election to his 2nd term.
This really gets on their nerves.
First there never was the job loss that the left said. One can, with some thought, figure it out rather easily. In the year 2000 the recession started under the Clinton administration. In that year there were a number of people living and working in the United States. Four years later the unemployment rate was the same as when Clinton ran for reelection in 1996 however there were approximately 10 to 20 million more people in the job force due to births and immigration. So if there were that many new people in the labor force and the unemployment rate was the same as 1996 there were job gains not loses. The losses that the Left talks about are old time manufacturing and other type jobs in large industries. The trend over the last eight years has been toward smaller companies and there is no data base except for the unemployment rate to understand how many of the work force are employed by small companies or are self employed.
fact:Pres Bush: LOWEST 1st Term Unemploy. Rate Since Eisenhower! 3.2 Million More Jobs than EVER!
NYT recants. the truth about low paying jobs An article in Business Day on Monday about the number of new low-income jobs compared with high-income jobs misstated figures from an analysis of Labor Department payroll data conducted by Economy.com, an economic research firm. Since January, industries ranked in the bottom fifth in terms of median wages have generated 177,000 jobs, not 477,000. Industries in the top fifth generated 135,000 jobs, not zero.
unemployment was lower the month of Bush's re-election to his 2nd term than it was during Clinton's re-election to his 2nd term.
Nationwide total is near 40 million abortions since 1973.
Job creation was up in 47 of the 50 states in the last year, and the unemployment rate was down in all regions and in 46 of the 50 states .
