The December Jobs Report

The December, 2011 Jobs Report showed that 200,000 new jobs were created in the month, and the unemployment rate dropped to 8.5%, the lowest rate since February, 2009. The Report, also, shows a total of 1.9 million private sector jobs created in 2011; the 20th month of CONSTANT private sector job growth since the passage of the President’s economic stimulus initiative; the FIRST growth in manufacturing jobs since 1997, and gains in Health Care recovery adding 315,000 jobs last year.

Considering the STEADY CORPORATE DEREGULATED LOSS of 750,000 jobs per month BEFORE President Obama came into office, it appears that the “economic stimulus created zero jobs” statement AND the “Obamacare is a job killer” statement made by 2012 Republican presidential candidates, Tea Partied Congressional representatives, Right Wing cable news network and anti-Obama talk radio pundits are NOT true.

Imagine the possibilities for public sector teaching, fire service, law enforcement and sanitation worker jobs if WE could convince Tea Partied Republican Congressional representatives to PASS THE PRESIDENT’S JOBS BILL!

but for this: "Right Wing cable news network".
