Okay. Aren't the Democrats still in charge of Congress?
I'm not sure (I closed the spreadsheet.) Many, undoubtedly.
Fewer, however, than the previous administration in the same time period.
What is your point?
Why do you need to use a "time period"? If you're going to look at Bush, look at his entire term which had net job growth of approx 3 million jobs over the 8 years.
Currently, Obama's net job growth is approx negative 4.3 million lost. (Since Pelosi took over, about 8 million lost jobs.) Time will tell with Obama but he could very well be sitting on a negative number in 3 years.
The point is, you can't "hide the decline" with truncated graphs and time periods. That trick hasn't been working too well for you guys...
Which is poor.
Actually the chart includes 100% of Obama's presidency so far. And looking at Bush's numbers from 2001 to 2008, the job loss figures doubled for the worse.
So what specific policy shift would you say took place that caused the economic collapse under Bush and was then later reversed causing an improvement in job loss figures?
Look, the real summary of this whole mess is this:
In 2006 the Dems took over Congress and soon the situation got ot of control, what with those idiots doing everything they could to run the country into a ditch so that they can argue that it was W's fault. We know how that went: liberal billionaires bought the media and installed their man in the White House.
What's hapening now is the result of all those irresponsible early Obama decisions, borrowing up the cazoo and throwing $trillions down the drain, working to redistribute wealth (aka rob those who are successful and fund his pet extra-liberal, Acorn-like projects - which kills fresh investment) and take us down the primrose path to ^^%%$$## socialism.
Do you see the truth now?

There cannot be any "liberal billionaires", logically, because liberals cannot succeed in business, right?
Actually looking at the numbers, at no point did Bush's job creation numbers exceed even population growth. This was before the Democrats took congress.
Baskin Robbins New Ice Cream Flavor
In honor of the 44th President of the United States , Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor: " Barocky Road ."
Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes. The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.
The cost is $100.00 per scoop.
When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but after you pay for it, the ice cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you at no charge.
You are left with an empty wallet and no change, holding an empty cone with no hope of getting any ice cream...
Are you stimulated?
