Bush team expects second term job growth
President Bush aims for continued job growth in a second term by extending tax cuts, reforming tax laws, restricting large jury awards, and boosting energy exploration. Economists cite health care costs and the trade deficit as main obstacles, predicting moderate growth and a steady hiring pace but not a return to booming 1990s. Employers added 1.8 million jobs so far this year, yet 371,000 fewer than in 2001, with analysts noting tax cuts helped weather the recession but did not by themselves deliver millions of jobs.

Bitter House resistance centers on control of spending and the Pentagon’s role under Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, with both parties wary of shifting authority and the timing of a new national intelligence director and counterterrorism center.
