Burger assembly line

Under the title, "Would you like rivets with that?" the Daily Mislead reports that the Bush administration is attempting to re-define "manufacturing jobs," as set forth in the Labor Department employment report, to include burger-flipping at fast-food places. Not only would this hide Bush's continuing loss of manufacturing jobs, but it would obscure the obvious impact of such loss, that is, that the new jobs that are being created under Bush are in low-pay brackets, causing a gross loss in income to wage-earners.

Is there nothing Bush is incapable of?
