Every Republican run since Hoover has left a higher rate of unemployment than what they assumed:
HOOVER..................................14.2%..........23.6%
EISENHOWER............................3.0%............5.2%
NIXON/FORD.............................3.6%.............7.7%
REAGAN/BUSH41.......................7.4%.............7.5%
BUSH43....................................4.0%.............7.8%
Maobama.................................7.8%..............7.8% and 6 trillion bucks borrowed with nothing to show for it. Shall we continue?
Where were you when Reagan for the first time in our history cut taxes for the wealthy and quadrupled the national debt?
Where were you when after Bill Clinton balanced the budget and generated a surplus and we were on track to completely eliminate the national debt by this year and George W. Bush took over and cut taxes twice, 2001 and 2003 then started two wars, began to borrow from Communist Chinese banks for the first time in our history then doubled the debt again? Why don't you realize that when Obama took over the first year's interest on the existing debt was half a trillion dollars? $454,393,280,417.03 to be exact.
