Interesting Chart of Job Creation, 1937 -2009

[JaneQPublic]

Look at those years when there was negative job growth: The only ones occurring during Dem presidencies are three in the post-WWII era (returning GIs), a barely discernable negative year during Carter, and the first year of Obama's term following the 2008 Crash. (Of course, each subsequent Obama year showed positive growth.)

All other job-loss years were during Repug years: 5 for us; 13 for them.

The DNC should show this chart non-stop during the convention.

1. I'd like to create a graph showing the tax rates...

On the left Y-axis, and the jobs created on the right Y-axis.

I think that would be interesting too.

2. Great idea.

The comparison of Clinton vs. GWBush alone would speak volumes regarding the validity of the two opposing economic theories when applied through two full 4-year terms.

4. Do you know of a good Internet source with the numbers?

I'd prefer to copy and paste them rather than print the numbers out and enter them.

7. Here is one.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_States#Historical_income_tax_rates_NOT_adjusted_for_inflation_.281913.E2.80.932010.29

The above link has tables for historical tax rates, one adjusted for inflation and another not.

6. Thanks for the FB copies

The person who developed this chart did provide a great visual showing well over 50 years without negative employment growth on the Dem's watch. Glad more are seeing it.

8. One of these days I will take that and add lines below to show when banking laws

such as Glass-Steagall were enacted, when they were repealed and how, and by whom, maybe with a synopsis of their effect, who wound up with the money.

'Cause I think our greater war is with those who value capital over people, regardless of party.

9. Obama's record would be a lot better if

not for all the republican governors laying off teachers, firemen, state highway workers, cops, etc etc with their main agenda to make this president a one term president!
