dubya's campaign lies: #3 a stronger economy

bush's first pick for "assistant secretary of manufacturing" in the department of commerce, a role intendend to help "shore up US manufacturing", was nebraska businessman anthony raimondo, who's been outsourcing work to china, while firing his american workers and closing his plants in the u.s.

it's get better—we now have the largest trade deficit in u.s. history! (coupled with the budget deficit, that's a $1 trillion annual debt c/o dubya.) how does the administration respond? by demanding competing nations allow for more "foreign direct investment." whuzzat mean? they want to export more american money out of the country! brilliant! i mean, why invest here, right? that might -gasp!- create jobs!
