Re: Which Bush Policies Have Led to Job Losses in the U.S. Economy ?
I take no position on that article. My question is are all types of captital investment equally effective at creating jobs in the US?

I don't remember what he stated but that's not the question I asked. There's no burden of proof, I'm asking a simple, direct question that should be answerable directly. MaxPower came up with an answer but the data doesn't support the arguement. Methinks you're trying to change the subject. [/ QUOTE ] The point is that GWB said HE would bring in jobs, and he DID have a specific # EVEN AFTER 9/11 that he has fallen far short of. Just because yo ubring up a question doesn't mean it is legitimate. You are the one trying to change the subject, when the REAL subject is why this president HAS NOT created jobs when HE said he would. Loaded question. Ask GWB himself where the jobs HE promised are.

[/ QUOTE ] No, but the accelerated depreciation was an across the board allowance i.e. specific capital equipment was not targeted for it so IMO it's appropriate to look at what it represents as a total increased investment in the aggregate. One thing I can't believe that article that it seems to imply something that is exactly the opposite of what happened. I can't post a link to the graph unless you have an online WSJ subsrciption, but if you look at the graph it's clear that an uptrend in job growth coincides with the acclerated depreciation laws being passed.

[ QUOTE ] Just because yo ubring up a question doesn't mean it is legitimate. [/ QUOTE ] No but this question is legitimate of Bush is responsible for jobs lost in the economy, what specific policy of Bush's has caused this. [ QUOTE ] You are the one trying to change the subject, when the REAL subject is why this president HAS NOT created jobs when HE said he would. [/ QUOTE ] I'm not changing the subject at all. All you have to do is indicate the Bush policy that has led to jobs being lost in the economy. You can't though.

Where do you think the $100 billion we sent to Iraq came from?

If you're implying that the war led to job losses in the U.S. the data doesn't supprt that. Since the Iraq war statted there has been a net increase in jobs in the U.S. to the tune of 1.6 million or so. Thanks for playing though.

Aside from that, it seems to me that if you allow corporations to outsource jobs to other countries and do not give them incentive to HAVE US employees, seems to me that costs us jobs. [/ QUOTE ] We insource more jobs than we outsource.

[/ QUOTE ] The problem is what President Bush said, not with the question posted by Adios. The truth is presidents can't create jobs. Anyone that says they can is lying. I don't understand what all the concern is over jobs created and jobs lost when the current unemployment rate is 5.4%- one of the lowest rates in the world and below the average rate over the last fifty years.
