Clinton’s job creation was TEN TIMES that of Bush’s, which was the worst since the Great Depression.

Annual employment-growth rates for all 11 postwar presidents:

Harry Truman (1945-53), 2.38%
D Eisenhower (1953-61), 0.87%
John Kennedy (1961-63), 2.28%
L.B. Johnson -(1963-69), 3.74%
Richard Nixon (1969-74) 2.30%
Gerald Ford –(1974-77), 0.95%
Jimmy Carter -(1977-81), 3.11%
Ronald Reagan (1981-89) 2.04%
G.H.W. Bush -(1989-93), 0.59%
WJ Clinton (1993-2001), 2.42%
G. W. Bush -(2001-09), 0.28%

Notice that every-time going from Democratic to Republican administrations the job growth worsens and every-time going from Republican to Democratic, it improves. Will some Democratic spokesperson PLEASE go on TV and say this?

Records were not kept before the 1920’s, so the only change missing is from Hoover to FDR. That was obviously a huge improvement.

Also important to remember that the Reagan and two Bush administrations saw a fantastic explosion of the deficit!

If you think this is BS, offer something to refute it, not a childish insult.

it isn't relevant to look at the presidents without looking at the makeup of congress since that is where the legislation is produced.

the one thing we do know is that government itself does not create jobs!

May I offer that if the guy before you did a good job, then growing employment becomes lower on your Presidential to-do list.

Indeed, liberals, and Keynesian economics, create jobs. Republicans and conservative economics create profits principally by firing the people hired during the good times. The choice depends on where you want to money to go. If you want it distributed to the workers you elect liberals. If you want higher profits and stock values you vote for the conservatives. The first give you a good country and times to live in and the latter a good country to invest in and hard times to live in.

Your choice. I prefer the results of liberal economic and social policies.

It looks like Obama is bucking the trend, higher unemployment and deficits. Or maybe he's a republican?

LBJ was a liberal? Escalation of Vietnam? Hello? As I recall, LBJs spending helped get us off the gold standard. The dollar isn't even 30 years old and it's already failing.

the problem is that keynesian economic policy does not create jobs. it is just a fancy way of saying government spending replacing private spending, but this cannot continue indefinitely since the government is not capable of actually creating the jobs. we are back to the issue of what solved the depression, and clearly the government spending did not, but the war did. (which was a ramp up of private sector production)
