More truthsaying on the State of the Union

Op-Ed Columnist: The Other America: "'For the sake of job growth,' said Mr. Bush, to the loud applause of the Congressional bobbleheads at his State of the Union address, 'the tax cuts you passed should be made permanent.'
Job growth? That's the weirdest thing Mr. Bush has said since he told a CNN discussion group, 'As governor of Texas, I have set high standards for our public schools, and I have met those standards.'
Nearly 2.5 million jobs have been lost since Mr. Bush became president, and the most recent employment statistics have made a mockery of the claim that tax cuts for the rich would be the engine of job growth for the middle and working classes."
