The Ultimate Winner
Take out state and local government that has had to cut jobs because of the economy and federal jobs have risen.
This keeps getting thrown out there by the left but it is disingenuous best.
You were saying something about disingenuous?
But if you break down the numbers, you will see that federal employment has increased by just 16,000 under Mr Obama, hardly a socialist transformation (and not much of a Keynesian stimulus either). Over his two terms, George W. Bush added 37,000 federal jobs; Ronald Reagan added 197,000 federal jobs in his two. Bill Clinton lost 139,000! Federal employment is some 350,000 down from when Reagan left office.
So federal jobs have risen and if the economy was better, local and state jobs would have gone up.
Which is what I said, and you also agree.
Funny how you just can't agree, I wonder why it is?
Could you please provide a link to your breaking down the numbers? What year is this for? Because I am not finding numbers past 2010
