"blame Bush and claim he inherited a Republican mess..."
Isn't that what George II has been doing.....saying that the recession had started while Clinton was president? FYI, there are two reasons that the unemployment rate has gone down. They don't count the people who have been unemployed so long that they're off the unemployment roles, and many of the people who are employed have taken minimum wage jobs just to survive. |

"cocoanutzdude" wrote in message . .. Drug companies that are making record profits and selling the same drugs to Canadians & Europeans for 25% of what Americans have to pay for them ? How Are you working for CBS? Tell me why a medicine I have to take, has gone from $ 46 a month to $ 86 a month in just 3 years ? It can't be for developement as the Drug Companies scream about, it is a medicine that has been on the market for a number of years. The real tragedy is the so-called "commercials" that Drug Companies are promoting, costing millions of $ that should be used on this "supposed" research but is doing nothing more than raising the costs of the medicine to innocent consumers like myself. Its greed and the ME ME ME attitude that this Administration, Congress & the Drug Conglomerates have. They should be ashamed of the **** they are pulling on the American public. |

Did Hoover manage to lose more jobs during the depression than shrub or is shrub just in second place as a job destroyer? Making the job market so bad that some people give up looking and absorbing large numbers in a war helps the unemployment rate but doesn't help the country. |
