I suppose you mean combat fatalities? Yeah, then maybe it's better to compare the Bush Admin with the Johnson Admin
US GDP growth has been much higher during the Bush Admin than the Carter Admin. As long as this is the case, does it really matter if we trade more with the rest of the world? Are you against economic development in India and China?
I'm not sure what you mean by this... what jobs are being "nationalized" in the US?
Not really, as you can see.

Here is some info on GDP rates also. Not exactly the slam dunk for Bush either from what I can tell.
"Under Jimmy Carter America's GDP growth was was 9.4% where under George Bush GDP growth has been 10.2%. These are the numbers where Republicans strut around talking about how great an economic President George Bush has been versus Jimmy Carter. Well I'll tell you one thing, I think I could get a group of 6th grade students to realize that to incur 24% more debt to generate .08% GDP growth is how you bankrupt nations. To justify tax deferrals upon future children (the proper labeling of what is known as "The Bush Tax Cuts") you need GDP growth of 25% or more to cost/justify national debt growth of 24% or more. The financing cost on the debt accumulation is far higher than the .08% GDP growth we've gotten. "
