In light of this news, I have to ask how many jobs were lost do to outsourcing?
I tend to be suspicious of figures the Government quotes, I wonder if its to change topic, or to make the current Government regime seems better than it is.

Stronger than forecast? Interesting how that's put.

As if the forecast can never be wrong?

People are working. Period, and that doesent bode well for Democrats in 2008 if that trend (as all economic indicators) show, continues.

You can't run on economics in 08 if the job market is strong especially in a key time of year where it has historically run weak.

So then Dems have to run on the war which is a toss up.

Democrats need to remember, Bush isnt running in 08. SO they need a strong alternative to HUGE job growth, low interest rates, low unemployment etc..........

Tough challenge
