Then you shouldn't have any problem showing BLS data that shows 22 million jobs created? What does that have to do with the thread topic however. Didn't Obama inherit a AAA credit rating from Bush?

You keep proving that I'm right

Rightwingers can't handle the facts, like how clinton created 22 million jobs and bush* inherited a growing economy and he destroyed jobs and the economy
 
No, they aren't lying -- they, and you, are using 2009 figures instead of the most recent figures from 2010 which put the figure at 45%. 45% of households owe no federal income tax for 2010 - Apr. 17, 2011

And, to add to that, while a significant percentage of those people are low and middle-income households, the wealthy have benefitted from certain tax credits as well, and they also make up a certain portion of that 45-47%. It's not like the entire 47% of those people are only low and middle-class folks.
 
So the IRS is lying to us again. MSNBC Lying? Yahoo Finance lying? Only liberals tell the truth? You say it isn't accurate why? Prove it just like I proved with links that it happened.

No, it's the rightwingers who are lying because the facts have a liberal bias.
 
Clinton raised taxes and created 22 million jobs and a growing economy. bush* cut taxes and destroyed millions of jobs and the economy

Keep saying the same thing over and over again doesn't make it true. Bls doesn't show the 22 million jobs created by Clinton but again what does that have to do with the thread topic. Didn't Obama inherit a AAA Credit rating from Bush?

Didn't Obama inherit $10T in debt created by big spending repiblicans like bush*?

The comparison should have been this: Job growth through Clinton two terms was 22.7 million. Through Bush’s two terms, it was 1.1 million.

Yep, and Bush inherited a 5.7 trillion dollar debt from Clinton. So does that justify Obama adding 4 trillion to the debt in less than 3 years?

Didn't bush* inherit an economy that was growing and turn it into an economy that was shrinking and shedding jobs?

No, we went into recession in March 2001 so that is what Bush inherited

In a televised address to the nation on July 25, 2011, to discuss the pending deadline on the debt ceiling, President Barack Obama​ laid out his version of how the deficit situation got to where it is. And Obama placed much of the blame at the feet of his predecessor, George

bush* took office in Jan of 2001. It only took him 2 months to start destroying the economy

yep, that is liberal logic, the same logic that believes Obama 2 1/2 years into his Presidency isn't responsible for the economic results of today

Obama economic results in 2011, .4% GDP and 1.3% GDP growth in 2011, 24+ million unemployed or under employed Americans in 2011, 4 trillion added to the debt in less than 3 years, and a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. Rising Misery index 7.83 to 12.67. First President in U.S. History to have our credit downgraded on his watch!

Deficits are yearly and projections aren't fact. The 2009 deficits were created from Oct. 2008 to Sept 30, 2009. Bush left office in January 2009 so how did Bush generate those deficits and how much did Obama contribute?

Clinton raised taxes, grew the economy and created 22 million jobs. bush* inherited a growing economy and destroyed millions of jobs and the economy with his tax cuts and big spending, big govt policies

bsuh* economic results in 2011, .4% GDP and 1.3% GDP growth in 2011, 24+ million unemployed or under employed Americans in 2011, 4 trillion added to the debt in less than 3 years, and a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating.

And when Obama took over the entire financial structure of the United States was on the verge of collapse, the economy was shedding over 700,000 jobs per month, and GDP was shrinking at better than 6% per year. Good progress.
