Obama Created More Jobs In One Year Than Bush Created In Eight | ThinkProgressLet's see, there was nearly 8 years of sub 6% unemployment...MUCH of that time was under 5%, which is considered full employment by the fuzzy math book keepers in Washington...despite everything that happened under Bush's watch.The Bush tax cuts are ten years old. Where are the jobs?
You need to ask the democrats who have passed 157 thousand NEW regulations since they took control of both Houses in 2006 where the jobs are. Regulations that have done everything from shut down off shore drilling and driven 120 thousand jobs to Chile where it's more business friendly...CHILE for cripes sake...to LITERALLY turning the duck pond and reflecting pool in YOUR back yard into a navigable water and therefore subject to the control of the Federal government.
You need to ask the democrats who have been in charge of the US House of Representatives AND US Senate since 2006 and until last year controlled both houses AND the Executive branch why the tactic of cutting taxes to increased the base and reducing regulations to simplify doing business worked before they took control, why it doesn't work now. Oh, wait. The democrats have INCREASED the regulatory burden on Americans.
And let's just address the mind set that the government can "create" jobs or ANYthing while I'm on a rant. ;~)
The whole idea is ludicrous. The government doesn't create anything...except paper money out of thin air. The government doesn't have a THING that was not forcefully TAKEN from someone else...namely, "We the People!"
Government only does one thing well. Create more government. Over 70% of all jobs created since 2008 have been public sector, mostly part time and temporary jobs. That means tax payer payed for jobs. They don't build things to sell, unless you count GM and Chrysler which we now own. Government doesn't even buy and sale the goods produced by others to support their habit. A concept even a crack head understands!
Oh, and before someone cranks up the, "Obama has fewer federal employees...just like Clinton did." BULL! He, just like Clinton and Bush before him, has simply continued the trend of switching as much of the federal work force to contract personnel as he can. They don't "technically" show up on the federal payroll, but they ARE paid for by tax payers.
Government EATS TAXES. At some point, we are going to reach the point that countries like Greece already has. There will be more people with their hands out than people who actually do work to support the goodies giveaways can support. And if you like the Occupy morons...you're gonna LOVE the anarchist that are burning cars and looting businesses on every street in Greece nightly.
SAT...it doesn't matter a damn how fast we row the boat as long as progressives/liberals/socialist are drilling holes in the bottom to let water out. We WILL sink!
Yeah...ya know, I'm not really all that interested in what George Soros thinks about ANYTHING Junky. I'm more interested FACTS.Obama Created More Jobs In One Year Than Bush Created In Eight

Facts like if you "create" a temporary job that cost 1.2 million dollars per job to create and it goes away in 6 months...you are pissing away MY TAXES!
Census jobs were NOT real jobs. Acorn get out the vote workers are NOT real jobs. Adding private contract jobs to replace GOVERNMENT workers that are STILL payed for with tax dollars is NOT a private sector job. Solyndra was NOT real jobs.
But there is some truth to it. Obama HAS spent YOUR...assuming you actually have a job....your tax dollars to create more jobs in OTHER countries than George Bush ever did!
If you believe that adding an average of 110 thousand jobs a month since 2009 is more than the the 486 thousand we averaged during Bush is accurate accounting...YOU should be working for the Fed. Cause those A-holes can't add either! ;~)
The Bush tax cuts are ten years old. Where are the jobs?
Between 2001 and 2008, there were lots of jobs.
Between May 1999 and May 2009, employment in the private sector sector only rose by 1.1%, by far the lowest 10-year increase in the post-depression period.
Please explain Americans why you Republicans support the wealthy over your own middle class?
I could never understand why the misguided mouthpieces in the Republican Party continue to make excuses for the top 1% wealthiest while dissing their own in the middle class. Cowards and Traitors, the bunch of ya. While the middle class is trying to unite against the wealthiest, some in the middle class are playing the Benedict Arnold role - all in the name of the Grand Ol' Party.
Shameless Cowards - the lot of you

Class warfare isn't going to improve the economy or help the nation (and it won't do a damn thing for dopes like you either). You sound like you might enjoy moving to Venezuela.
Irony. It's not just for breakfast anymore.
You're attacking me for being an O-bot, while you recite "move to Venezuela" without an iota of understanding of what is being said about Wall Street. I criticize Wall Street, so you shout Venezuela.
The middle and lower class-which is you and me-are losing ground in America. The rich are getting rich, thanks to a system that many of them are busy corrupting.
Why are you losing ground? Give specifics please.
FWIW for the past ten years I have more than tripled my net worth.

I answered your question. Surely you are aware that the middle and lower classes are losing ground.
The stock market has been closing above 12,000 over the past couple of weeks.
Anyone remember what it was just as Jr. left office?

How dishonest.
We know that the crash in the second half of 2008 wiped out the job market. Do you have anything constructive to add?

Kindly direct me to the post where you answered this question.
Why are you losing ground? Give specifics please.
President George W. Bush entered office in 2001 just as a recession was starting, and is preparing to leave in the middle of a long one. That’s almost 22 months of recession during his 96 months in office.
His job-creation record won’t look much better. The Bush administration created about three million jobs (net) over its eight years, a fraction of the 23 million jobs created under President Bill Clinton‘s administration and only slightly better than President George H.W. Bush did in his four years in office.
Here’s a look at job creation under each president since the Labor Department started keeping payroll records in 1939. The counts are based on total payrolls between the start of the month the president took office (using the final payroll count for the end of the prior December) and his final December in office.
Because the size of the economy and labor force varies, we also calculate in percentage terms how much the total payroll count expanded under each president. The current President Bush, once taking account how long he’s been in office, shows the worst track record for job creation since the government began keeping records.
If I could turn you into an honest poster, I'd do it. But that's out of my control.
Of course 2008 hurt jobs-but there were problems long before that.
Earlier in the thread, I explained to you that we were speaking of the nation as a whole, and not individuals. We are all aware that all conservative posters on message boards are self-made rich people.
I answered your question. Surely you are aware that the middle and lower classes are losing ground.
The Republicans I know are middle class as am I (I am a moderate Democrat). Neither they or I support the wealthy over the middle class, that is left wing nutter propaganda. What we do is support not only the middle class, but also the poor but we are wise enough to recognize that it is they who invest the most create and maintain the most jobs and, uh, that would be the rich as Obama defines them. (Anyone with an income over $250K a year)Please explain Americans why you Republicans support the wealthy over your own middle class?
