Bush: "The no jobs president" (Salon)

In anticipation of the roughly 30,000 times we're going to hear the phrase "Our economy is improving" in the upcoming SOTU address, I recommend watching the free ad and reading the John Galbriath piece on Salon.  The money paragraph?

What does Bush want? He wants a growth rate high enough to get him through the election. That's obvious. After that, he doesn't care. His clientele -- the military contractors, oil companies, pharmaceutical firms and big media that control this government -- make their money on patents, contracts and the exercise of monopoly power. (Case in point: Bush is pressuring impoverished Central Americans, in trade negotiations, to add 10 years to the length of drug patents.) These people have no interest in full employment. They like unemployment, weak labor, low wages and a government that bullies on their behalf. And after the election, if Bush wins, that is what they will get for four more years.
