Great editorial....

snip - These reports and others look at job quality in different ways; what's striking is that almost every method tells the same troubling story.

Of course, Bush doesn't deserve blame for every bad number we have seen in the economy, neither in his first 40 months in office nor in his most recent two. Yet the historic weakness of jobs and income even in the most-touted 12 economic months of his presidency underscores how over-the-top it is for his administration to argue that its regressive, deficit-exploding tax cuts have been a whopping success for U.S. workers.

1. Any job is a number to the Shrub, and further, he

could care less if there is any health insurance with the job. When was the last time he even mentioned anything about health care costs?
