At the beginning of the year, the Bush Administration made a bold claim to be able to create 2.6 Million jobs in 2004. Liberals balked at the idea. Well, now the Washington Post reports that "payrolls have risen now for eight straight months, with 867,000 new jobs created so far this year".
Let's whip out the old calculator and extrapolate. 867,000 new jobs in 4 months is an average of 216,750 jobs per month. If things continue to grow at that rate, (multiply by 12) and you get... drumroll please... 2,601,000 new jobs in 2004. I love it when a plan comes together.
I'm no math genius, but I'm pretty sure 2,601,000 is right around 2.6 Million. And it looks like we're on course to make that number.
Another reason for the deliberate dumbing-down of our schools.
Being able to mathematically fact-check is not a skill desired among the proles.
