Bush: "I want everyone who wants to work to be able to find work"
I hate it when he says this. He said it a lot during the campaign. What he is doing is excusing rampant unemployment, implying that the only folks not working are those who are too lazy to get a job.

2008 where are you?

4. How many times has the word "work" been used?
Is this a repeat of the second Bush-Kerry debate?

5. work?
the chimp's free trade policies just cost 30,000 jobs from GM and now Ford is going to close 8 plants. Where? here, no other place, just here. Sooner or later free trade will leach every meaningfull job out of this country.

I do know that once your unemployment benefits run out, you are no longer counted. Also, they do not keep track of underemployment.

13. at a living wage, with health care. What, bush didn't say that.
The problem is not finding any work at all. The problem is finding decent work to supports one's self anf family if they have one. Working part time at wal-mart and making so little that you are on public assistance does not count.
