Clinton Created More Jobs than Reagan + Bush1 + Bush2 COMBINED!

[healthmyths]

And more businesses that have been harmed by Obamacare...

| National Review
Again not ONE positive affect. Stopped hiring. Cut hours. Cut jobs...
And replacing with robots.

Citing concerns about the rising cost of labor, Wendy's President Todd Penegor told Investor's Business Daily (IBD) about plans to automate the ordering process in company restaurants.
Employees who once took orders from customers will be replaced by self-service kiosks.
Mobile ordering and payment apps will also cut down on employee hours.

According to IBD, Penegor says the move is a response to the rising cost of labor for the company. He says it's partly a result of rising minimum wages, but also a consequence of more competition between companies for a smaller pool of workers. The company has found it has to shell out more than it once did if it wants "to access good labor."
Wendy's is replacing its lowest-paid workers with robots

After seeing a decline in earnings for the first time in nine years, McDonald’s plans to do something no other restaurant of its kind has ever done before;
open a store run entirely by robots.
New McDonald's In Phoenix Run Entirely By Robots - News Examiner - Examine Your World

The industry could be ready for another jolt as a ballot initiative to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour nears in the District and as other campaigns to boost wages gain traction around the country. About 30 percent of the restaurant industry’s costs come from salaries, so burger-flipping robots — or at least super-fast ovens that expedite the process — become that much more cost-competitive if the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is doubled.

Minimum-wage offensive could speed arrival of robot-powered restaurants

But see people like you and Obama have NO idea what operating costs are! Think about! 30% restaurants' operating costs are salaries!
Raise the salaries by 50% and you wipe out the businesses. Works overtime!

Bush's housings bubble plus war spending was a much larger bubble, but he caused 2 massive recessions & job loss. Democrats don't cause recessions or job loss.

[TheGreatGatsby]

Actually, Clinton didn't create a one. No president does. They simply stay out of the way.

The IT expansion during his term had nothing to do with him.

Somewhat over-stated; but not as over-stated as how the media routinely puts it.

FACTS versus your seat of the pants, biased LIES!!!

Are you aware that a recession started under Clinton and became official 3/01 ended 11/01?
Because idiots don't seem to comprehend... RECESSIONS are like large ships.. it takes miles to turn one...i.e. so does a "RECESSION"...
it doesn't just start the day NBER states... it is a slow degradation and it started under CLINTON!!!
Source: USATODAY.com - It's official: 2001 recession only lasted eight months

A Major $8 trillion market loss... (Which meant jobs, tax revenue,etc. gone!)
Are you aware that the dot.com bust occurred and cost $8 trillion in losses? Again Clinton laid claim BUT someone had to pay and it occurred during Bush's first year!
$8 trillion in market losses MEAN lost tax revenue. PLUS JOBS!!!!
According to the Los Angeles Times, when the dot-com bubble burst, it wiped out $8 trillion dollars in market value for tech companies.
More than half of the Internet companies created since 1995 were gone by 2004 -
and hundreds of thousands of skilled technology workers were out of jobs.

The worst attacks on the USA in History.. 3,000 deaths!!! 9/11 happened REMEMBER!!
Obviously most of you are UNAWARE 9/11 cost 3,000 lives, $2 trillion in lost businesses,market values assets.
Jobs lost in New York owing to the attacks: 146,100 JUST in New York. Airlines shut down 3 days ...wall street 10 days!!!
Are you aware this happened???
Now before you idiots say "well Bush should have known"! DUMMIES... ever hear of the Gorelick Memo signed under CLINTON??
Gorelick Memo that created the wall between FBI & CIA thus no knowledge of the 9/11 bombers shared with the FBI!!! Looks especially imprudent 10 years later.
Because the memo created a barrier for U.S. intelligence agencies to share information with the FBI, one of its unintended consequences may have been to prevent the FBI from receiving the necessary intelligence to stop the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the worst in American history.
Gorelick Memo Allegedly Impeded Probe of Clinton Fundraising Scandal
1995 memo [Clinton presidency-concerned about Chinese election sales] Gorelick wrote, stated explicitly that they would “go beyond what is legally required, [to] prevent any risk of creating an unwarranted appearance that FISA is being used to avoid procedural safeguards which would apply in a criminal investigation.” GORELICK Memo!
Jamie Gorelick’s wall barred anti-terror investigators from accessing the computer of Zacarias Moussaoui, the 20th hijacker, already in custody on an immigration violation shortly before 9/11.
At the time, an enraged FBI investigator wrote a prophetic memo to headquarters about the wall.
Whatever has happened to this — someday someone will die — and wall or not — the public will not understand why we were not more effective in throwing every resource we had at certain problems…..
especially since the biggest threat to us UBL [Usama bin Laden], is getting the most protection.
So, a year before the 9/11 attacks, a special unit in the U.S. military was aware of the presence of an al-Queda cell in Brooklyn, New York, and sought to share its information with the FBI but was stopped cold.Why?Because (as described in the April 16, 2004 Washington Times piece) “on March 4, 1995, [Jamie Gorelick, the then number 2 official in the Clinton Justice Department, sent a 4-page directive] to FBI Director Louis Freeh and Mary Jo White, the New York-based U.S. attorney investigating the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
In the memo, Ms. Gorelick ordered Mr. Freeh and Ms. White to follow information-sharing procedures
that ‘go beyond what is legally required,’ in order to avoid ‘any risk of creating an unwarranted appearance’
that the Justice Department was using Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants, instead of ordinary criminal investigative procedures, in an effort to undermine the civil liberties of terrorism suspects.”
Could 9/11 Have Been Prevented? The Gorelick Memo and What We Knew

Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone. Airlines didn't fly for 3 days!
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.

Anthrax Attacks...
The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two DemocraticU.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others.

$1 trillion in losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history. 2,215 lives lost
The worst, Katrina made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 in 2005. It took 1,836 lives and caused $81.2 billion in damages. It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.

YET in spite of these gigantic cataclysmic events Bush had:
YET in SPITE of:
a) 400,000 jobs lost due to Hurricanes Katrina/Rita ,
b) 2,800,000 jobs lost in alone due to 9/11,
c) 300,000 jobs lost due to dot.com busts... In spite of nearly $8 trillion in lost businesses, market values, destroyed property..
IN SPITE of that:
2002 $157.8 billion deficit.. also 9/11 occurred and tax revenues lowered for years later due to dot.com/9-11 losses against revenue.
2003 $377.6 billion deficit.. BRAND new cabinet Homeland Security, plus loans made to businesses.. again tax revenues down..affect of 9/11
2004 $412.7 billion deficit.. Revenues up by 5.5% spending increased and economy getting back.
2005 $318.3 billion deficit.. revenues up by 14.5% deficit decreasing at rate of 22%
2006 $248.2 billion deficit.. revenues up by 11.7% deficit decrease 22%
2007 $160.7 billion deficit.. revenues up by 6.7% deficit decrease 35%
2008 $458.6 billion deficit.. revenues down and deficit INCREASED TARP loan mostly...
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=20

AND TARP has PAID back plus a $68 Billion Profit you dummy!
Oh and by the way, the solution i.e. TARP? Which idiots like you and Obama criticized YET OBAMA has benefited from in this fashion.
If it weren't for TARP's payback of $688.9 billion on the $620.3 Billion outflow Obama's deficit would be even worse!

[healthmyths]

Come on you Bush Bashers! Tell me NONE of those events happened! Tell me dot.com bubble didn't bust and the phony surplus was totally exhausted by
tax loss write offs of the $8 trillion dot.com bust!
Tell me that 9/11 never happened and hundreds of thousands of jobs weren't destroyed as were businesses or the airlines not flying for 3 days! Wall St closed 10 days!
And you idiots say oh big deal! Tell that to the thousands that died in WTC, Penn, Pentagon!
Then you also forget about the Anthrax attacks. None of you were scared I'm sure! Yet no one knew where they were coming from.
And all the while Democrats were screaming for Clinton's 1998 Liberation of Iraq to be executed! I bet none of you knew there was an Iraq Cease Fire from 1991 did you?

Finally none of you seem to have any idea of the enormity of the hurricane SEASONS! Not just one katrina or two but dozens of hurricanes over the 8 years
struck the USA but again none of you seem to remember that.

But in spite of all those attacks, hurricanes, financial losses... Bush kept us together!
And then YOU idiots like these idiots started to help the enemy! Cheerleading the terrorists! Encouraging as the Harvard study shows the continual deaths of the troops that YOUR IDIOT Democrats wanted in Iraq under Clinton but boy you and these idiots sure turned your backs on our troops!
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid(D) "War is lost", The terrorists LOVE hearing that!
U.S. Rep. Murtha(D) "Our troops killed innocent civilians in cold blood,” Terrorists used that to recruit more children to blow up when getting candy from our troops!
Senator Kerry(D) "American soldiers going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children." The GALL! Calling our guys "terrorists"!
Senator Obama said "troops are air-raiding villages and killing civilians," What a recruiting slogan Obama gave the terrorists!

Also REMEMBER... TARP??? That added to the Deficit by Bush right???
2002 $157.8 billion deficit.. also 9/11 occurred and tax revenues lowered for years later due to dot.com/9-11 losses against revenue.
2003 $377.6 billion deficit.. BRAND new cabinet Homeland Security, plus loans made to businesses.. again tax revenues down..affect of 9/11
2004 $412.7 billion deficit.. Revenues up by 5.5% spending increased and economy getting back.

http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=20

BUT what most people don't know is THIS!!!

This means if Bush didn't have TARP in 2008.. there would have been NO DEFICIT!
As it is as TARP is being paid back almost 97.8% it is going directly into US treasury.
And Obama STILL spent it and increased the deficit spending!

Please prove to me that the 2001 Recession that started under Clinton didn't happen!
Please prove to me the Dot.com bust didn't happen in 2001!
Please prove to me that 9/11 didn't happen!
Please prove to me that the worst HURRICANE SEASONS in history never happened!
Please prove to me that ALL the bad loans under CRA founded by Carter expanded by Clinton didn't go bad in 2008!
Please prove to me that these statements WERE NEVER MADE by the Democrats!

President Bush publicly called for GSE reform at least 17 times in 2008 alone before Congress acted.
Unfortunately, these warnings went unheeded, as the President's repeated attempts to reform the supervision of these entities were thwarted by the legislative maneuvering of those who emphatically denied there were problems.
Setting the Record Straight: The Three Most Egregious Claims In The New York Times Article On The Housing Crisis

Many prominent Democrats, including House Finance Chairman Barney Frank, opposed any legislation correcting the risks posed by GSEs.
* House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-MA) criticized the President's warning saying:
"these two entities - Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - are not facing any kind of financial crisis .
The more people exaggerate these problems,
the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."...
(Stephen Labaton, "New Agency Proposed To Oversee Freddie Mac And Fannie Mae,"
New York Times, 9/11/03)
* Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Chairman Christopher Dodd also ignored the President's warnings and called on him to
"immediately reconsider his ill-advised" position. Eric Dash, "Fannie Mae's Offer To Help Ease Credit Squeeze Is Rejected, As Critics Complain Of
Opportunism," New York Times, 8/11/07)
Barney Frank's Fannie and Freddie Muddle

TELL ME YOU f...king idiot that NONE of those events happened! That Dodd/Frank never warned Bush about trying to fix Fannie/Freddie!
Please PROVE ME wrong you dummy!
