IT'S STILL THE ECONOMY, STUPID

It seems that the mantra used in Clinton's 1996 campaign again holds true today.

Bush Acknowledges Jobs Going Overseas: "On Monday, Gregory Mankiw, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, said such 'outsourcing' by U.S. companies is 'just a new way of doing international trade.'

"A Republican normally loyal to the White House, House Speaker Dennis Hastert, said he disagreed that shipping American jobs abroad was good for the U.S. economy."

If Hastert knows this, why don't Democrats?
