You keep posting the same lies about how everything is rosy. The economy was on the mend in May the econmy was on the mend in June, the econmy ws on the mend in July. Peopel are not going to buy the line teh economy is on the mend unless tehy are feeling it in their own wallets. india is predicting that 100% of US firms will be offshore outsourcing within the next two years. GWB needs to address this he needs to address the fact we have had gguest workers in teh USA while there is high unemployment. You are talking prdeictions from people who do not have a good track record. Durable goods orders are up but how nmany of those durable goods orders are for Americna manufcatured durable goods. What happens to those stats when the effect of imports is taken out of them are they still positive? No I have not done the math in detail but round math figures factoring out Jet Blue's order for airbus aircraft and thenumbers do not look rosy. Even defense orders areon 50% American content (otherwise why all teh complaining about a bill requiring 65% Ameican content in DOD purchases).

Stating everything is coming along just fine when the actual evidence of gains in teh economy is not going to get GWB re-elected (but maybe that is not what you want).

Two questions:

How many people in America work in the I/T field? 2.2 Million

How many H1B visa were issued this year? 30,000

This is a straw dog.
