I would love to see your evidence for that. Though I won't hold my breath.No it wasn't.Let's be clear: "Jobs saved or created" was never an official statistic but was used occasionally by Obama during the early stages of job recovery. The monthly report was always just "new jobs."Do you ever stop lying, ya con tool?
Ever???
I never said Bush "created" the term. I said his administration used it before Obama.
Meanwhile, you lied and said... "would that be like inventing a new economic statistic...Jobs Created or Saved...to hide how few jobs you actually created?"
Clearly, that's not something Obama "invented" since the previous administration used it before him.
So? Do you man up and apologize for lying? Or are you going to continue parading your lack of character?
The choice is yours...
Yeah, two people in the Department of Agriculture used the phrase trying to make their work look impressive and you seized upon that to try and pretend that the Bush Administration lied about job creation like the Obama Administration did! It's an absurd comparison and your lack of one example showing George W. Bush ever using the term himself while there are literally dozens of examples of both Barack Obama, his Vice President and numerous members of his Administration repeatedly pushing the "Jobs Created or Saved" number to show how "successful" the Obama Stimulus was!
If you had any character...you'd stop trying to push the lie that "Jobs Created or Saved" was a Bush Administration thing that Obama also used. It wasn't. It was a lie that the Obama Administration used to hide how badly they'd misused almost a trillion dollars in taxpayer monies!
Forget clear...let's be honest, Pinqy! "Jobs Saved or Created" wasn't used occasionally by the Obama Administration...it was used on nearly a daily basis!In his campaign speeches for the 2012 election, Obama's main talking point was the number of new private sector jobs since February 2010. Not "saved or created." While the phrase was used frequently, my main point was that it was never an official statistic, nor presented as one.Whenever someone would question an Obama official on how many jobs had been created by the Stimulus the reply was always the same and it was always about jobs created and saved because that would allow them to quote just about any number they wanted to since there was no way to prove or disprove what they were claiming!
Can you give examples of this after 2013
And yet every month BLS published the actual new jobs numbers. So how on earth could the Administration's use of saved or created hide the headline new jobs numbers every month.Now if you're extremely naive you might believe that was simply a coincidence but if you have even a dollop of common sense and you really wanted to be honest...then you'd admit that the Obama Administration made a deliberate decision to use the "Jobs Saved or Created" figures to hide how bad the Stimulus was actually doing creating new jobs!
What's amusing is that the private sector numbers that Obama wanted to boast about were being driven by an energy boom taking place because of fracking technology...
Funny how until now you were talking like "saved or created" was used throughout the Obama administration and not just in his first term.The reason you don't see them using the "Jobs Created or Saved" after 2013 is that they no longer had to cover up how badly the Stimulus was working because the Stimulus was over. That in and of itself should tell you EXACTLY what that "Jobs Created or Saved" narrative was all about!
If that had happened, then maybe. But the main stream media certainly did report the BLS numbers in the headlines for every release and paid far more attention to them than to "saved or created."As for what was "hidden"? If the main stream media doesn't report on the BLS numbers...but instead reports on the made up numbers given to them by the Obama White House...are they not in essence "hiding" the truth from the American people?
