One article reports percentage change and the other reports actual dollars. I am sure you understand the difference. Do you spent the percentages or the real dollars. GDP growth was 4.5 trillion from Dec. 2000 to Dec. 2008 and job growth was 6.5 million net by the end of his term and 8.5 million at the end of 2007. The jobs suffered in 2008 and continue to suffer today. Bush didn't spend trillions of dollars to generate a 4 million job loss and create a 150 billion deficit in November.
By the way, you obvoiusly bought in the rhetoric about Clinton but ignored what happened in 1994 which had a greater impact. The GOP Congress repealed much of the Clinton tax increases and actually cut taxes which promoted economic growth. Keep re-writing history.
