I thought Hillary was a far superior choice than Obama in 2008, now I am not so sure:
She was.. Even though I supported neither, I think Hillary would have reached across the aisle rather than pass everything she wanted and then blamed everyone else for its failure.
Thge economy under the first six years of GWB were amazing, there were more jobs than people and everything was roses. Then the democrats took over congress his last two years and everything went down hill from then on.
You have no idea of the facts, you're just spewing false information. Read and learn, you might decide you'd be better off being a republican.
That is incorrect. Very few jobs were created under GWB. There was a real estate boom, then bubble, then crash.
You cant create jobs when there arent enough people to work.. We had near complete employment under Bush
note the difference between that, and Obamas policies..
btw, its really dumb to calculate the growth in population and then cite that against the jobs, unless of course you want 3 year olds to have jobs.. (do you realize he's counting the growth of CHILDREN?)

Perhaps you can cite some numbers to back up the claim of the great economy under GWB? I cannot find anything that reinforces that belief.
"Moreover, the economy’s performance between 2001 and 2007 was weaker, overall, than its performance in the equivalent years of the 1990s, years following significant tax increases. GDP growth was somewhat weaker than in the 1990s, and job creation, investment, and wage and salary growth all were substantially weaker."
LOL... I would rather have the 'cruddiest economic recovery' than the worst recession in 60 years, which is what the GOP gave us.
And businesses do create jobs-- usually ****ty ones. And they only do this if they absolutely have to, which is not very often.
Are you seriously arguing that most businesses would gladly create a job even if it meant their profit margins would suffer? Not very likely.
So who do you think creates jobs? Government? Not everyone can be a government parasite, someone has to pay the bills.
Businesses CONSTANTLY take a hit to profit margins to create jobs, it's called GROWTH and INVESTMENT so their profit margins will be greater in the future. Do you think Amazon got to 100,000 employees without ever taking a hit to their profit margin? Only a "you didn't build that" government leech would think so.
