A sore scrotum is worse then both.

We have lost a sh*t load to overseas employers. But he seems to like it in Asia.

LOL!!!( Ruggy vs. Adroomi)

I'm just glad that we can help India and China improve their standards of living while we lower ours.

Can't wait to get back to shacks and outdoor plumbing. LOL!

Slim, those numbers are a bit misleading. We're in a situation that is really unprecedented in the US - our largest generation is retiring, and a many of the members of that generation are retiring before they hit 65. We're facing a situation where we could simultaneously see negative job growth and declining unemployment. That's good for the employees, but it makes life very difficult for employers, as it will become increasingly difficult to fill positions, and wages will probably have to increase simply to persuade people to return to the workforce.

Further, having positive job growth following the burst of an economic bubble is pretty impressive. Throw 9/11 on top of that, and the job growth we've seen is pretty impressive.

I promised myself that I wouldn't go down this path again but suffice it to say that the quality of jobs has gone DOWNHILL amazingly fast.

Just look around.

Almost everyone that I know who has been laid off, excuse me, "downsized", is going into service -related, sales, or software industries.

People are living off credit cards and refinanced homes.

Bloody, according to the DOL real wages are rising, which strongly suggests that the jobs being created pay above the national average.

Sorry Bill, I just don't see that.

I'm convinced that the numbers are being manipulated somehow.

If real wages are increasing then they are not keeping up with the cost of goods and services.

Thus, lower net salary gains result.

Bloody might be right. I know I don't make as much as a stripper as I used to.

And if you figure it out by the pound My earings are off 400%!

everything you disagree with is misleading including bush's approval ratin of 34 to 35.

bad poll.

biased poll.

liberal media biased poll.

i want to see a secret poll of congressman and senators that vote whichever way bush wants, even though they know it wrong, but they don't want to lose their seat in the house or senate.

You’re off topic Rick, now you're gonna get Adroomi slapped! LOL

CBS news has proved their Bias. They admit to 37% dems vs 28% reps in their poll.

I think you should look into the Rather spot. They could use a bright young face.
