Why is it that Republicans think they have a better record of creating jobs than the Democrats?

Look at the comparisions between the deficits too.

Why would this nation ever hire another Republican given their record?

1. It's that high?

I'm surprised, I thought it would a negative number. But hey, there's about two months left, give it time! :(

5. Well, you have to consider population growth.

And given the fact that * has been president for 8 years, and the presidents with comparable job creation records only served 4 years, W's record is utterly disastrous.

[Terran]

16. Good points

So it's really more like -6%. Great.

2. Only bound to get worse with November numbers . . .

Bewsh will be SURE to top his old man once and for all . . .

3. Negative 3%, right? nt

[Greyhound]

4. and those are numbers so well massaged they could be sold as Kobe. n/t

[DrDan]

6. and what was the population growth in the same period

my guess is higher - therefore a net loss of jobs

[blueclown]

8. Yup.

I would be interested in seeing a formula for these figures that factored in population growth.

14. break even with job growth is 150K new jobs per month

juniors administration rarely made that - they were so busy patting themselves on the back for their 7000 new jobs per month.

sean insanity wets his pants hourly on the great job record of these felons.

7. alert

[blueclown]

9. Alert what? n/t

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

10. Are those "minuses" or "dashes?"

My answer depends on it. :)

[blueclown]

11. Dashes.

Still, there is no reason to alert this thread.

It shows how dismal W's record actually is. All presidents are expected to preside under job growth given population increase, but it tells you how terrible W's economic record is when he was president for 8 years and his job growth % was so terrible.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

13. Never mind.

12. They know they have no record on creating jobs. They just say they do

so they can give the wealthy tax breaks.

15. make up a lie and keep repeating it. Technique of Hitler and Goebbels known as the Big Lie.

After a while people will start accepting it as true. Of course, it's important that M$M participate in this sort of deception.

17. Why report now, it may be negative by January.

Seriously, by Jan 19th he may have a net job loss!
