Check your economic data today, folks. The numbers just came in for September. The increase in jobs is not keeping up with population growth. We're still a million jobs shy from when Bush stepped into office.

Yeah, those tax cuts were worth it. Poor job market and hideous debt, both in the government and the average household. Mmm, good.

I was working off this article: http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature/2004/10/08/jobs_numbers/index.html by UT Austin's James K. Galbraith. And James is a liberal economist, so take that as you wish.

That's a subscription site, though, but general news article can be found here:
