What Bush could do is, targeted tax cuts for businesses that start jobs in the US, reduce regulation and useless paper work that strangles new business, and demand that if you want to have free access to US markets the US has free access to yours.

For what it's worth here is what Bush said today on the economy: We're making good progress on the economy; looks like we're growing, and that's important. Last month we -- people are finding work, but we're not satisfied with the progress that is being made. We talked about ways to continue the economic vitality of our country. The tax cuts need to be made permanent so there's certainty in the tax code. We need an energy plan so that our businesses and employers, both large and small, know there's a reliable source of energy available.

We talked about trade and this administration's commitment to free and fair trade, that administrative officials will continue to press certain countries to open up their markets to U.S. product.
