BINGO! It's this statement: Or prove that the dems under the last Dem President claimed that the unemployment numbers proved how good the economy was doing at the time?

You are making this to easy.

Lets start with what Bill Clinton said in July of 1996...
http://www.cnn.com/US/9607/05/jobless/

Try this and again read what Clinton said about the unemployment numbers...
http://www.time.com/time/daily/1996/960906/textonly.html

Read Clintons words to a club in Detroit...
http://clinton4.nara.gov/WH/New/html/19990108-2098.html

So,here are 3 examples of Clinton himself claiming that the unemployment figures during his admin prove the economy was good.

Now,there are several on the left here on A2K claiming that the unemployment figures now are wrong and a lie.

Since they are figured the same way now as they were then,were Clintons numbers a lie?

Hey, clucless mm, you missed the most important part of the article:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Economists didn't expect June's unemployment rate to be much different from May's, which was an already-low 5.6 percent. But in fact, it did fall -- to 5.3 percent. The unemployment rate hasn't been that low since June 1990.

What this "report" essentially says is very simply that the 'unemployment rate fell to 5.3 percent, and the rate hasn't been that low since June 1990.' Simple, right?

The Labor Department said Friday that businesses added 239,000 workers to their payrolls during June.

Most economists believe that our economy must add at least (minimum to you) 150,000 jobs (average) every month to maintain "full employment."

The vast majority of the jobs added were in the service industry, including restaurants, bars, and agencies that place temporary workers.

You are clueless. Compare this to Bush's 4.4 percent unemplohment rate and job "growth" averaging less than 70,000 every month. This when the US population is growing every year, more Americans are losing their health insurance, and factory jobs are disappearing from our landscape.

I won't waste my time looking at your other links. Just show us where anybody thta's a democrat on a2k say what you claimed. I won't hold my breath.

You yourself have said that the current unemployment numbers are false.
If you want me to,I will spend the time to look for your exact words about the numbers.

Are you going to say that you havent called the numbers under the Bush admin wrong or false?

McG,
I probably will have better luck talking to that wall.
I am hoping that CI will be honest enough to admit that he has called the unemployment figures under Bush a lie.
But,somehow,I doubt if that will happen.

"...dems under the last Dem President claimed that the unemployment numbers "proved" how good th eeconomy was..."

CLUE: Unemployment numbers have been produced by the same government department.

CLUE: What and where did dems claim anything about the low unemployment rate to prove "how good the economy was?"

But its as I thought,you are not going to be honest and admit that you yourself have said the Bush unemployment numbers are false.

That says much about you.

I think C.I. is trying to prove that Kerry is no less a dork then himself.

All you guys are able to do is attack the messenger, because you can't answer your own claims. Where did all of you go to school?

All of you are clueless!

If the same government department issues unemployment rates, and one of them can't be depended on to be consistent with the "true" unemployment rate; figure out for yourself what that means for any number they produce.

Democrat and republicans are not definitive descriptions for any party member in the US.

What and how Clinton uses government statistics/numbers to support his
job growth is at least consistent to the facts: his job growth backs up the "low" unemployment rates.
In Bush's case, the two numbers are "inconsistent."

Half of Wall Street is going to retire at the end of the year. There will be lots of job openings.

Unfair to single out c. i. ... Kerry's dorkness applies broadly across the sociopolitical demographic from whence it originates.

Shall we apply the same rule to the other party, with reference to deficiencies amongst the chosen representative for prez in '04?
