Job Growth: Reality Or Fairy Tale? CBS

Trying to steal some of the spotlight from Democrats seeking his job, President Bush is highlighting upswings in the U.S. economy in three events this week, including one in Missouri, a state he narrowly won in 2000 and has been tirelessly courting ever since.

"We're growing," Mr. Bush said during a brief stop at SRC Automotive Inc., an employee-owned plant where 120 workers make and remanufacture engines and other parts for automobiles, boats and race cars.

"The growth is good. New jobs are being created. Interest rates are low. Home ownership in America is at the highest levels ever."

4. He must of looked long and hard

And all he found was a shitty surplus bottom feeder outfit as a backdrop for his lie fest. He couldn't find a real plant making new products on new equipment, those don't exist anymore.
