I think you have me confused with someone else. I haven't to my recollection, mentioned conspiracy theories at all, except to say that I don't believe them.

Comment wasn't directly directed at you. I'm pretty sure there are idiots out there that believe everything that White House says is a lie. They're running the biggest economy based on a lie.

I note that you're using the White House's own numbers. I'm not going to get into a debate on the specifics, except to say that there WAS a slowdown in job growth at the beginning of Bush's term.

Big deal about the slowdown. Jobs have increased in a steady fashion. Can you ask for more?

I'm not an economist--I don't pretend to be qualified to comment on that, nor do I make any representation as to whose fault it is. However, IIRC, both job growth and unemployment are lagging indicators, unless I'm mistaken. I'd be glad to be corrected on that issue--but it may well be that the root of our disagreement is somewhat semantic.

Why would they be lagging? Sure you could argue quality of jobs and such, but thats beside the point. The jobs still exist, and were created, all 5 million of them during Bush's term.
