As the stimulus money disappears the public sector will see more job layoffs, so no surprise really.

I couldn't help but notice you supplied no link to show that to be true.

Fortunately, there are lots of links using Google to prove that to be totally incorrect:

President George W. Bush’s 2003 tax cuts generated a massive increase in federal tax revenue and were followed by 52 consecutive months of economic growth. From 2004 to 2007, federal tax revenue increased by $780 billion, the largest four-year increase in American history. Total federal revenue from 2003 to 2007:

2003 -- $1.78 trillion
2004 -- $1.88 trillion
2005 -- $2.15 trillion
2006 -- $2.40 trillion
2007 -- $2.56 trillion

What if I posted a response using the same tone as yours: "I love it when moronic conservatives..." or something similar?

I notice that practically every self-described conservative turns every argument into an ugly personal attack. Why? I don't get it. This is a discussion about economics and unemployment, things so complex that a majority never agrees. I have noticed that every one of your assertions on this thread have been severely weakened by evidence AND those posters did not resort to personal or collective insults to make their point.

Democrats basically have name their own oppositon has the evil empire for decAdes now. Their problem is they can't take tit for tat really.Its really funny to read their reaction to peaceful Tea Party rallies after years of violent protest by them.

So "tax and spend liberals" is a PERSONAL ATTACK equal to calling someone a moron?

If you say so.

I sincerely wish I was that naive. To be that innocent and unknowing!

" Mommy, do we have to pour water on our cereal again instead of milk " ?

While we are on the subject of reality, after one year, the unemployed are no longer counted in government statistics. If unemployment was computed the way BLS did it prior to 1994, the true unemployment rate (according to Shadowstats.com) would be 22.2%. I wonder why the mainstream media feels compelled to only do stories that support government statistics. There is bona fide analysis that can show government numbers are rigged to make things look better than reality.

Date: U.S. Debt
2003--$6,783,231,062,743.62
2004--$7,379,052,696,330.32
2005--$7,932,709,661,723.50
2006--$8,506,973,899,215.23
2007--$9,007,653,372,262.48

And to be factually correct...Bush had 52 consecutive months of JOB growth. Not economic growth.
