Education is the Ultimate Solution, right Bush?
Thursday night Bush harped on how unemployment can be magically cured in an instant with EDUCATION that is better and makes us more competitive. That's also his purported way to fight jobs being exported.

I find this very insulting. I am a highly-educated person who did what I was told and got good grades in college and went on to pursue a doctorate degree. I AM STRUGGLING LIKE HELL. Granted, it is not Bush's fault that I am a single custodial parent with no child support (because I'm a man), but there are things that a president can and should do to encourage the economy.

Spewing rhetoric about how undereducated Americans are (which should include himself since he barely eked his way through a school that his daddy put him in) is not going to fix things.

Ignorance is bliss and a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Well, this is a dangerous man.

Right on.

The question to Bush was "what would you say to an individual who lost his or her job to an overseas hiree, who would in turn earn less money than the original job occupant" (or something close to that). If Bush spoke to me personally and gave me that answer that he did, that tie he wore in the debates wouldn't've been the only thing turning red...

Grrr... Oy, and the shmearing the Bush-heads are doing against Kerry! It's enough to make a man kvetch already.
