The irony here is that during the Carter administration more than twice as many jobs as the Bush Jr. administration yet the population of the United States was much smaller in 1976 than it was in 2000.
I like the idea of more revenue for our criminals in DC to squander and absolutely love the idea of the central planners tinkering with private businesses to the point of failure.
It's been working marv thus far.
bravo!!!
As a group corporations are reporting record profits.
American corporations may be sitting on record profits, but they are not hiring. Not in America, at least, according to The Associated Press.
Thus far this year, American companies have created roughly 1.4 million jobs overseas, while creating less than 1 million in America.
Those additional jobs would have pushed the national unemployment rate to 8.9 percent, according to the report.
"There's a huge difference between what is good for American companies versus what is good for the American economy," Robert Scott, a senior economist at the Economic Policy Institute, said.
The third quarter this year saw American corporations pull in record profits. They made an annual rate of $1.65 trillion through September.
But with American consumer spending still down, much of that profit came from emerging markets in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. A rising middle class in those nations is creating an increase in demand for consumer goods, and American companies are seeking to fill the void.
Once again we have a conservative with all rhetoric and no facts.
During Clinton we experienced the longest economic boom in history.
Everytime the repubs try trickle down it hurts the economy and our jobs.
there is a chart out on wiki and some other places that lets you see
per president job creation.. its clear the dems create more jobs.
just look at the economic crash we are in right now. Creating billionaires
and choking the middle class into poverty does not help the economy
one bit. I think you knew all this though.
FAIL!!
No such thing as the Clinton surplus - all creative accounting - it is humorous how easily liberals are fooled
The irony here is that the financial crises of 2008 had a much more drastic effect on the economy than the attacks on 9/11. Yet you are willing to cut President Bush 43 some slack while totally ripping President Obama.
The outsourcing of American jobs and investment dramatically increased duing the Bush 43 administration. According to Bureau of Economic Analysis during the Clinton Adminstration Real Fixed Private Investment increased at a rate of 8.775% per year. During the Bush 43 administration Real Fixed Private Investment increase at a rate of 0.625%. At the same time net U.S assets owned abroad more than DOUBLED.
