So this is Bush's strong economy? Doing better than ever?
Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., released a statement noting that the Census data covered the year 2003 and "does not include the full effect of the president's tax relief."
Tax relief that most won't see in their lifetime. So tax relief will give these poor better jobs or more money?
