"Unexpected" by whom? I believe the people pushing the tax cuts said this might happen... Very Cool.

Hold your horses....
Kerry has to grill the folks at the Labor Department, to find out how they voted on their formerly secret ballots.
If they say they voted for Bush, their findings don't count.

Take a Look at the number of people who have taken a job for much less than they were earning prior to losing their job.
Also look at the numbers of those who have exhausted all of their benefits.

Gee - I'd almost forgotten about Tiny Tom. Seems as if he rarely slithers out from under his rock anymore. He must be deeply disappointed.
To: Inspectorette
Daschle is a repugnant, scheming liar... he is keeping a low profile because he's up for re-election this year in South Dakota and has to masquerade as a moderate.
I pray that the good people of South Dakota reject this clymer once and for all. Hopefully Kerry will be such a drag on Daschle at the top of the ticket that he can't survive the undertow.

As long as consumers (voters) don't think we're heading in the right direction, we aren't heading in the right direction. Perception is reality.

Why sure they fell, they cut out the extended pay period for unemployment benefits. Fast food stores are popping up everywhere and they are putting America back to work. Many of the super retailers are hiring people to open all those imported boxes of goods shipped from abroad. Opportunity Knocks.
