You guys just look sooooo cute when you do what you are told, vote the party line and remember to fight those republicans and their McJobs.
Ummmm and when was NAFTA conceived? 1986 under lord and savior Ronald Regan. Who signed NAFTA into existence December 17, 1992? Why none other than HW Bush. I love how people when speaking of the ills of NAFTA forget the key players of such said deal. Namely the Republicans....
“We made it very clear at our announcement that (our number) was not half of all the jobs out there, though it is an interesting parallel,” Walker said.
In short, Walker, the state GOP and the others touting the national numbers are making a flawed comparison. The Bureau of Labor Statistics does separate national and state-by-state studies, each with different parameters and margins of error. The agency says it’s wrong to mix the two estimates -- a warning included as a footnote on the documents themselves.
Here’s how they put it:
"State estimation procedures are designed to produce accurate data for each individual state. (The bureau) independently develops the national employment series and does not force state estimates to sum to national totals nor vice versa.
"Because each state series is subject to larger sampling and nonsampling errors than the national series, summing them cumulates individual state levels errors and can cause significant distortions at an aggregate level. Due to these statistical limitations, (the bureau) does not compile a ‘sum of states’ employment series and cautions users that such a series is subject to a relatively large and volatile error structure."
In short, the bureau says you can’t accurately use the individual state jobs reports to make a national comparison. Or even shorter: Don’t do it.
Ok, a job in the tourism industry is seasonal here for the most part. So while the numbers indicate jobs have increased, it's convenient because those numbers increased just as the tourist season was kicking off. What do you want to bet those same numbers decrease when those very same jobs end at the end of the season?

Clinton (R) signed NAFTA. You can't even admit to it....or your whole world would crumble.
"But it couldn't have been a democrat! I deny your reality and replace it with my own! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
LMAO.
P.S. If you scroll the the thread you will see me making fun of the WI repubs showing seasonally increased jobs numbers as proof they are doing a great job. See, I deal in facts, reality....those silly things.

Bush, who had worked to "fast track" the signing prior to the end of his term, ran out of time and had to pass the required ratification and signing into law to incoming president Clinton.
Get your facts straight.
It was Bill Clinton who signed NAFTA and the 2000 China Trade Act.

Oh good lord. CLINTON signed NAFTA. How could you talk on the subject without knowing this simple, basic FACT?

NFTA is ratified by the Senate by a vote of 61-38. Senate supporters were 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats, and Clinton signs the act into law.
Now back in the old days, when a treaty has been negotiated by two previous presidential administrations, it has been debated and ratified by the Senate it used to be that an incoming would sign the act into law.
So that fact that Clinton was the last to put his John Hancock on a treaty doesn't exactly give critics wiggle room to dismiss the hand of the two previous administrations.
What's with you guys? You just quoted Walker then go on to say something you quote him as not saying. Sheesh.
Someone spiked their Kool Aid
