Re: FW: [DMCForum] A Parable

You need help with this debate Dave?  I think you were
doing a fine job on your own..

See Below.

I cut some stuff simply because it has either been
beat beyond death, or I am not interested in defending
Kerry.  Again, my discussion focuses on why Bush is
not fit to be president..  not why Kerry is (or is
not).

American soil??  why does it need to be on American
soil to be a valid terrorist attack?

What threat did Iraq pose to the united states?

1.5 million jobs??  A small fraction of what was lost.
 and by the way, the LOST jobs paid quite a bit more
than the 1.5 that were created.  

Sorry if I don't want to use my bachelors degree to
clean bed pans at a nursing home.

Everyone, but not equally..  And at the cost of the
largest deficit EVER.

Do you know how the unemployment numbers are compiled?
 They are based on the number of people collecting
unemployment insurance..  So, when someone uses up
their 26 weeks even if they are still no working, they
are no longer counted as "unemployed".

Your unemployment numbers are inaccurate.  they do NOT
represent the number of people who are looking for
work but cannot find work, or had to take a $7 an hour
job to feed their family because the $75K a year jobs
all went to India.

My 18 months of unemployment is enough proof for me
that the economy is still in the toilet.

I'm not quite sure why you think the economy is good. 
I just went to get some numbers of jobs lost in the
past 3 yrs VS jobs created, and found this site which
seems to tell a better story than I can:
