Hillary can see that the economy is a disaster, factory closings, tens of millions of unemployed, surpluses changed to massive federal deficits, the stock markets way down, lots of threats of war and terrorism, etc.

If things dont change for the better soon, ANY!! democrat will win in 2004.

Well, especially with people like you making up things about the economy.

Assuming 150 million people are of working potential (kids and the retired don't count) 6 percent unemployment equals 9 million. Tens of millions is WAY out of line. 9 million is probably high. How big are you saying "tens of millions" is? 30 million, 40 million, 80 million? Is unemployment REALLY 50%?!?!

The stock market crashed before Bush. Yes, people will try to blame Bush and statements like yours do a good job of helping them think that way.

Geeze, we've got a bunch of whiners on FR...

Not only is unemployment under-reported, but there are also millions of additional people who are "under-employed", who are now working at a much lower level lower paid job after being layed off, after their factory closed, after they were replaced by indians or mexicans, or because they cannot find anything, whether a recent college grad, or an experienced professional computer or engineer.

I dont need to make up how bad things are now, how much the markets have tanked, how many cant find good jobs, how many factories have closed, or how much worse the economy is now.

Bush will be blamed, regardless of when it started. Bush can be blamed for the loss of american jobs, he has not addressed the legal and the illegal immigration problem at all, he has not proposed anything to get business to re-open or build new factories, or to get businesses to employ american computer people instead of foreigners.
