I see, so now you think it's the Congress and not the president with control over the job market? You sure are fickle depending on which way the wind blows. Meanwhile, the current stretch of job growth precedes the Republican Congress. So much for your whack theory.Funny how unemployment has come down when Democrats no longer control the Congress so the Private Sector feels safe to invest again!Those were the numbers YOU wanted to talk about. You see now that we've improved under Obama so now you don't like them anymore?? Sorry those numbers hurt you so much .... but 6.1% is far lower than what it was when Obama became president.You can scatter as many numbers around as you want, if it makes you feel better. Fact remains, when Obama creates jobs, FOREIGNERS get them. And he's actively making that situation worse, not better.As a percentage of the civilian noninstitutional population, those 15 million people represent about 6.1%.YOU KNOW what I have (from Post #660) and that's all I need to have. As far as the 15 million unemployed Americans, are concerned, Obama's job creation hasn't done squat for them, because his immigration policies has them going to millions of illegal invaders (he sees as votes for his people), and many more legal ones on work visas. He has no job creation credential AT ALL because of that.Apples and oranges? lol
OK, Dubya had a loss of 1+ million PRIVATE sector jobs in 8 years with his and the GOP's 'job creator' policies., Even stopping Dec 2007, it was a miserable 4 million in 7 years
That socialist Obama has 11+ million PRIVATE sector jobs since passing the 'job killer' Obamacares in Feb 2010, that's a NET of 7 million PRIVATE sector jobs since Obama came into office (since Dubya/.GOP policy lost 4 million in 2009)!
Besides you Bircher bullshit, do you have ANYTHING???
And I supported Obama's infrastructure jobs bills which the House Republicans vetoed, so you can skip the Bircher routine,
When Bush became president, that number was 4.9%
When Bush left office, it was 7.6%
That means under Bush, it increased by 55%; whereas under Obama, it's decreased 20%.
This is why I laugh whenever a rightwinger whines about Obama's economy.
Funny how unemployment almost always goes up when the president is Republican and almost always comes down when they're Democrat.
Have you noticed that?
And in the history of the BLS recording job statistics, there has been only one Republican president who had unemployment drop on his watch.
Reagan. The only one.
By comparison, there has never been a Democrat president who left office with a higher unemployment rate than when they started during that same time period.
Not one.
