This vexes me. I am terribly vexed.

Also, addessing the real meat of this topic, of Bush "coming through for the working man:
Look at these two charts from the economic policy institute.
The first one shows that Q3 2003 wage increases very low and Q4 2003 wages decreasing. Wage growth is FALLING behind inflation. That is not coming through for the america worker.
Now for job growth. Q4 98 to Q4 2000 we were creating more jobs, and higher paying ones at that.
Q4 2001 to 2003 we are making less jobs than we are losing, and the ones we are making are lower paying than the ones we are losing.
Median income has been
falling
for two years now.
