Thus, it is a relatively jobless (or lower rate new jobs) economic recovery.

Again - I give no praise to W other than the facts indicate.

Oh, I know, I know. I will take a look at these when I get a chance. Its just that average Americans are not benefitting. Salaries for middle class Americans have not incereased at all, on average, under this administration. Also, when inflation is taken into account, they have actually gone down a bit. Unions have declined. Millions have gone into poverty, etc. I'd like to see the economy actually improve, of course. I would love for him to be right on this one.
