Jack Kingston (R-GA): "Economy is rocking and rolling like never before"

Republican: 'Economy is rocking and rolling like never before'

RAW STORY
Published: Friday April 7, 2006



In a statement released today, Congressman Jack Kingston (R-GA), vice chairman of the Republican Conference, announced that "The economy is rocking and rolling like never before."

Kingston points to a Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) employment report that indicated 211,000 new jobs were created in last month. In the last 12 months, 2 million jobs have been added to the U.S. economy. Democrats are unconvinced.

Stating that President Bush, hit by yesterday's allegation that he ordered the release of classified information, would attempt to boast of economic improvement, Democrats released a pre-emptive "fact check."

The document cites a widening gap between the rich and poor, declining wages when adjusted for inflation, a 70% rise in health care premiums and a 57% rise in college tuition since Bush took office. It cites high-income tax cuts and the record U.S. deficit as contributing factors.

wait look over here I have a bunny!
When will these apoligist ASSCLOWNS wakeup. It's thier America this Retarded puss ball president is ruining too!!!!

EDIT: spelling

are releasing?

...and since they don't give the actual name of the document, it made it pretty impossible to search for it. Normally I'd provide that kind of info in my post.

:patriot:

That was from this morning's business section.

I know our housing is way down and that usually is a good barometer of just about everything.

at the moment. :eyes: Another ass-clown Republican lying his ass off.

that's bad acid man.....
ooops... too late

Don't know what's up. I'd love to know which stats he's using. But, the release, is not there.

...things are great if you are a rich white Republicon leader who isn't currently embroiled in a legal, moral, or ethical scandal.

It's amazing what can happen when you can print fiat currency, keep the cost of money below the inflation rate, and keep your dollar afloat because the rest of the world needs it to buy increaingly expensive energy supplies and you hold an MX missle at everyone's head.

Deficits...who cares. Hollowing out of the economy...party time. Massive concentrations of wealth and power...Wheeee!

Let's rock and roll!

He's a World War 2 veteran. Great guy. Brilliant as he ever was. It saddens me that we cannot discuss Jack's issues (and the Republican party's hideous agenda) as it would wreck a twenty-year-long friendship.

Old man Kingston's views are decidedly Libertarian.
