Bush has carried out a war to takeover Iraq for oil profits. That war has killed thousands of innocent Iraqis. US troops now occupy Iraq in colonial style in spite of mounting anger and resistance from the Iraqi people. Iran, Syria, North Korea, and Cuba are being threatened. At home, affirmative action, civil liberties, overtime pay and immigrant rights are under assault. Joblessness is rising, and Bush is handing over
hundreds of billions of dollars to the already superrich in the form of a tax cut. On August 15, Bush will breeze into Orange County and rub elbows with a group of hand-picked politicians and local millionaires so he can rake in millions of dollars for the Republican Party. The of people in Southern California who protested the war against Iraq will be out there in the streets of Irvine to say NO to the Bush program of war, occupation,
racism, and tax giveaways to the rich! Let's join them in solidarity! We gave him a harty anti-Bush reception in Los Angeles at The Century City Plaza that he will never forget. Now, we have another chance to tell the 'Bomber of Baghdad' to stop the occupation of Iraq, Afghanistan with attacks against the Palestinians and other peoples of the Third World.

Get a job!

"Get a job" is precisely what approximately 3,000,000 people have been trying to do since oil slick George was selected president.

Unemployment is at 6%. That's means 94% of those who want to work are working. I'll take those numbers.

Now, can we have some goof come try and to tell us how 6% isn't a "true reflection" of how many are "really unemployed". That's fun to listen to.

And while you're at it, point out how I said the word "fun", and how it isn't a laughing matter to the unemployed, like I didn't know that already.

Economies have cycles. The jobs will return just like they have in the past. It's not the first time our country has experienced 6% unemployment or worse. It will get better again. And then one day it'll get worse. And then it'll get better again. And worse. And better. And worse. And better.

Check out the News Bureau of Labor Statistics (U.S. department of labor). See these numbers for yourself

Paul Krugman "Twilight Zone Economics" NYT 08/15/03:
"Just to keep up with population growth, the U.S. needs to add about 110,000 jobs per month. When it falls short of that, jobs become steadily harder to find. At this point conditions in the labor market are probably the worst they have been for almost 20 years."

Me:
tell your pedulum cycle to someone who is getting kicked of thier house/apt or having to skip another meal - tell them it will all change in a year.
