Job Creation Statistics Since 1948

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Is it really the economy, stupid? Statistically, it is clear that Democrats have been more successful in the creation of jobs for American workers over the last half century. In fact, as David Fiderer points out, “since Truman was elected in 1948, 53.2 million new jobs were created during the 24 years when Democrats held The White House, and 38.3 million were created during the 36 years of Republican administrations”.

But the difference is that the jobs created during Democratic administrations were for scumbags and infiltrators. Republican administrations may make fewer jobs, but they go to the good church-going ethnic stock that project managed the creation of this great country.

Just like the poor single mom that had nothing to do with her situation.

I'm a little surprised at Bush's first term.
