That's very strange, the economy was losing private sector jobs at the ungodly rate of about 750K/month at the end of President Bush's term in office, but those results don't seem to bother you. Why is that, Con? It seems to me you are putting your politics before the truth.
BTW, when you were supposedly a Democrat, they were far more to the left than they are today. So I suspect, you were not into politics back them, you were a Democrat because of family. I was in the same situation only I was a Republican back then.
You keep saying that but the difference is instead of the 750K loss the people dropped out of the labor force and are no longer counted. The numbers are basically the same. Bush never had 1 trillion in discouraged workers at any time during his term. Those discouraged workers aren't counted as unemployed
Instead of blaming Bush suggest you focus on the Obama record. Do you believe it is the Federal Government's responsibility to mandate that individuals buy health insurance? Do you believe it appropriate for the Federal Govt. to demand the people paying FIT pay more while 47% of all income earning households aren't paying any FIT. Do you believe it is the Federal Government's role to mandate that religious organizations violate their teachings? Where does the role of the Federal Govt. stop in your world/
