Lets get a few things straight: the president doesn't create jobs. The best he can do is create an environment to encourage growth. Bush didn't create those jobs anymore than he caused unemployment.
However, my point stands. The economy is quite healthy. Unemployment is low. Interest rates are low. Inflation is in check. Confidence is rising. We had tremendous growth.

also as for the budget deficit
|
While I would prefer not to have a budget deficit, there are a few things to consider:
- the average American will not be basing his vote of off the budget deficit. It is unimportant.
- the United States can afford a budget deficit of this magnitude due to the high demand for the greenback in other countries.

Surely spending more on wars and armys is not as important as Education

Perhaps. Army = government's job. Education = YOUR job, YOUR responsibility. You really can't compare it.

Right, because if we had spent more on education, 9/11 would never have happened. /rolleyes
