- What they also don't tell you is that not until Uncle Ronnie came
- into office were the military and private sector jobs combined to
- make it look like more people were employed. Usually when you think
- of employment stats you think of private sector jobs, neat little
- slight of hand there huh? The problem is that if the media were as
- hard on Bush as they would have us believe, this type of information
- would have ben brought out on a regular basis.
