President Clinton stated at the Democratic Comvention thet our economy has actually created more Private Sector jobs under Democratic leadership in the last 50 years. There were a total of 66 million private sector jobs created in that 50 year period. The Democratic Presidents held the office for 23 years and created 42 million jobs in the private sector. The Republicans held the office for 28 years and created 24 million jobs. President Clinton's numbers are confirmed by many non - partisan sources such as, The Labor Dept and The Congressional Budget Office. ( Bloomberg News and Huffington Post also confirmed the numbers ). The Republicans held the office for 5 more years, but created 18 million less jobs. We always hear that the Republican Presidents are the job creators, but under the Leadership of Democratic Presidents, our Nation has actually created many more jobs. President Clinton says our economy will not get stronger by continuing to cut taxes for the wealthy, but by strengthening our working lower and middle class. President Clinton's record on the economy speaks for itself and in my opinion, we should listen. President Clinton says President Obama's policies will bring our economy back to where it belongs and he's one expert that I will listen to. |

mandm84, as you may know, the Washington Post fact-checker gave Clinton's claim a single "Pinocchio": "We considered giving this our “true but false” label but instead settled on One Pinocchio. For readers unfamiliar with our rating scale, a single Pinocchio does not represent an outright falsehood but more a selective telling of the truth. In this case, the numbers add up, but they are used to reach a conclusion that doesn’t tell you much about how either political party has managed the economy in the past — or would in the future." Here's the link to the full explanation if you are interested: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/bill-clintons-claim-about-democrats-spurring-job-growth/2012/09/06/9dec4164-f858-11e1-8b93-c4f4ab1c8d13_blog.html In Response to Democratic Presidents Actually Create More Private Sector Jobs.: President Clinton stated at the Democratic Comvention thet our economy has actually created more Private Sector jobs under Democratic leadership in the last 50 years.

Michael, so you are saying the Labor Dept. and The Congressional Budget Office numbers are false, because someone at the Washington Post said so. You can search the web and find someone to manipulate the numbers in your favor all you want. Wash Post Glenn Kessler said the numbers are correct, but the times overlap President Clinton knows a heck of alot more about how our economy works than you and I do or Mitt Romney for that matter, so I'll go with a proven leaders word on economic matters Response to Re: Democratic Presidents Actually Create More Private Sector Jobs.: mandm84, as you may know, the Washington Post fact-checker gave Clinton's claim a single "Pinocchio": "We considered giving this our “true but false” label but instead settled on One Pinocchio.

mandm84, the factchecker did not say the numbers were false. He just pointed out that it was rather meaningless. I have decided that I am no longer going to post on these message boards. After less than a week, all I see is that Obama, Clinton and the Democratic Party are and have been the saviors of America, while Romney, Bush (41 and 43), Reagan, and the Republican party are and have been the source of America's problems. I am an independent, and I think both parties have greatly contributed to the nation's fiscal problems. I also think that both parties have done things to help make America the greatest country on earth. However, the polarization in the country has never been greater, and I am starting to doubt whether we will ever become more unified without a crisis that forces us to work together again. I am probably as guilty as anyone of being entrenched in my views, but I feel like I am wasting too much time making arguments that do not really matter. So all the best to you, mandm84, and to everyone else on these boards, no matter your ideology. God Bless America!

Let's deal with the current democrat in the WH. He is not really a democrat, but a socialist. His goal will be to set up a WPA type of government project. This will just cause inflation to spiral.

Michael. please do not leave. That is the goal of all the America hating socialists on this board. We must stand up and present the truth when they print their lies.

Labrat64, thanks for asking me to stay on. I know that you are really outnumbered here. I actually suspect that some of the posters on the board are working for the Obama campaign, and they are trying to scare seniors who read these boards into thinking that the bad Republicans want to eliminate Social Security, Medicare. Medicaid, and any other safety-net programs so that the rich can get richer. It makes me wonder how any Republican ever gets elected since they are such evil people. It's just ridiculous. Our current President talks a good talk (and even that talk has gotten pretty stale), but I really do not see leadership from him. The economy continues to "recover" at an anemic rate, more than 8% of Americans have been unemployed during his presidency (and the real unemployment rate is a helluva lot worse), and the federal debt just keeps growing and growing. That's ok, let's just spend even more money that we don't have. We can collect $80 billion more per year from the wealthy. That will fix everything. It's those damn Republicans that are screwing everything up. I hear enough of that in the mainstream media. I don't need to hear it all again here. Hang in there. Maybe I will check back in after I take a break and clear my head a bit. In Response to Re: Democratic Presidents Actually Create More Private Sector Jobs.: Michael. please do not leave.

Michael, I dont mean to argue with you, but I have a very strong compassion for our struggling seniors, disabled and poor children. A Nation as strong and wealthy as ours, should never turn our back on them in their time of need, but the Ryan Republican budget does just that. Sorry, but its all there in black and white. Thats why the " Nuns On The Bus " Tour wanted to talk to Ryan ? Its not personal against you. I'm an Independent as well.Response to Re: Democratic Presidents Actually Create More Private Sector Jobs.: mandm84, the factchecker did not say the numbers were false.

I think you're right. They seem to parrot the democrat position. When challenged, they avoid the facts. They talk about police, firefighters and teachers being laid off, but don't mention the dozens of layers of beaurocracy in any government agency. Nor do they mention the duplication.

Yes, Labrat, Firefighters, teachers and police are being laid off not counting govt. positions because of our Republican Governor and now the people are beginning to wonder why the State is not spraying for water hyacinth that clog our water ways. Why they are our state hospitals. You see you want to cut as long as it doesn't apply to you like if you need a policeman or firefighter but there are programs for the poor and disabled they are cutting that doesn't pertain to you so you say CUT IT. How selfish. And believe me I don't avoid any lie you write. In Response to Re: Democratic Presidents Actually Create More Private Sector Jobs.: I think you're right.
