Atrios notes that Bush now holds the title as the first president since Herbert Hoover to preside over a net loss of jobs during a four-year term.

End of 2000: 132,441,000 jobs
End of 2004: 132,266,000 jobs

During that period, the population has grown by an estimated 12-13 million people.

Make that a *lot* different. I should hit the Preview button more often.

And yet this economy is considered a roaring success - for corporations. At least that is what they say before warning that it is going to turn South. My response is "when was it North?"
