With Election Over, We'll Hearing Positive News
The economy was just as good a month ago as it is today. The economy was just as good three months ago as it is today. The difference is, they're now telling us what we knew all along.
The economy was smoking. But it didn't fit the template that George Bush wanted to harm people economically, that Bush only wanted to help the rich and so the picture had to be painted of how down and destitute everybody was. Oh, woe is America!
Rush: Shortly after the election, what did I tell you? I said, "It won't be long before we'll start hearing the truth about the economy," right? And I said, "It won't be long before we start hearing about how good things are going in Iraq, and it won't be long before we start hearing other positive news," and lo and behold there was some positive news.
"At Hofstra University's jobs fair and at college campuses nationwide, there's a growing optimism about the jobs picture for graduating seniors. A new study out Thursday by Michigan State University predicts a 20 percent increase in hiring for this year's grads — the first increase in four years."
Well, Shazam! Do you folks realize -- what is this, November the 24th? -- why, it was only 30 days ago that we were all just a paycheck away from soup lines. There were no jobs to be had, and what jobs there were to be had were no better than hamburger flipper jobs.
They were low-paying jobs because of outsourcing and all of this horror that was happening in the U.S. economy. There was no future for anybody. We needed to raise the minimum wage. Oh, woe is us! What happened to our once great country?
Now the election is over and college graduates have some of the finest job prospects in the past four years.
Optimism's nourished by the truth. I'm just telling you, you're going to start seeing a little bit more. There will be a trickling out of more good news about areas of our country that just a month ago we were on our deathbed, folks. And it was Bush that was going to pull the trigger on all of us. It was up to John Kerry and the Democrats to save our future.
