there are a result of private econ activity and gov responses.

I see nothing that tells me that Bush will have lower umemployed going into the 3rd qtr of 04.

I agree media bias will blast fake ratios like a lower unemployment rate and "growth", and "productivity" - where

productivity reflects jobs overseas, unemployment rate reflects not showing the U6 rate and ignoring the tricks used to get the PR rate U-2 down, and growth ignores the fierce game playing as the gov contribution that is the GDP is moved around ("revised") so as to get as many positive headlines as possible -

but I do not see this crap working a second time - media credibility is about gone in the US - US folks know better than to trust a Chris Wallace broadcasting on Fox - despite his great father.

GE will have to work as hard as in 00 to get Bush the 04 election - and I am not sure they want to be exposed - as they will be this time by the foriegn press - by going to that extreme.
