¡¡¡¡Passage 4

¡¡¡¡B. Reich, the labor secretary under President Bill Clinton. ¡°But if job growth is anemic, he is anemic, he is in trouble.¡±

¡¡¡¡If job gains don¬ðt continue, Mr. Bush could be stuck. By pushing three tax cuts through Congress in three years, he has already taken his best shot at stimulating job creation, and the deficit will make it hard for him to push through further reductions.

¡¡¡¡Given how little he can affect employment between now and Election Day, Mr. Bush finds himself among those presidents who have been faced with the challenge of putting the best face on the economy without appearing detached from the angst and, in some cases, the suffering it has generated among workers.

¡¡¡¡¡°Job growth is an issue, but there are two things President Bush will benefit from,¡± said Representativ
