Seems George left a couple of things out of his speeches...

"As consumer spending rises, manufacturers in China are seeing more new orders for their goods,"

Except for the over 3 million families that may have lost their homes because their employers moved to China, families have saved billions of dollars by refinancing their homes

On Monday, Bush will be in Richfield, Ohio, to speak at an operating engineers training center bragging about how busy the opertors will be in the coming years...

Of course he won't dare talk to the Millwrights, Boilermakers, Iron Workers, Carpenters, Pipe Fitters or any other skilled tradesmen, or loggers and lumber companies, hardware producers, roofing manufacturers, insulation companies, etc, because they will not be needed...The massive amount of work for the Operating Engineers will be tearing down exhisting empty factories, NOT building new ones...

Offshoring made it onto PBS last night, NOW with Bill Moyers. (No, I am not poisoning my brain. In fact, I didn't even watch. But my husband did and he had a white, sort of ashen face when it was over. I think he thought I was making this stuff up).

Fox just played exerpts of Bush's speech (same as above), along with the RAT response.
"Since Bush has taken office, America has lost 2.5 million manufacturing jobs. That's ten percent, or one in ten jobs".

Guess which version of the American economy resonates with voters...
