Really? The Affordable Care Act has been “killing jobs”? Let’s take a closer look to see if Pence has any idea what he’s talking about.

As regular readers may recall, in 2014, the first full year of ACA implementation, job growth reached a 15-year high. In fact, the first two years of ACA implementation were the best back-to-back yearsfor job creation since the 1990s.

But we can go a little further with this. Forbes’ Dan Diamond made a great observation, which inspired the above chart, noting private-sector employment in the United States over the last eight years. The red line shows the final two years of the Bush/Cheney era, as the private sector shed jobs; the light blue line shows the first year of the Obama era, when the Great Recession started to end; and the hard blue line shows March 2010 through the present.

As Diamond added a while back, “Obamacare was signed into law in March 2010. The private sector hasn’t lost jobs since.”

As things stand, the U.S. economy is on track to create over 2 million jobs in 2016, which will be the sixth consecutive year in which we’ve crossed this threshold. The last time Americans saw a six-year stretch like this was also the late 1990s.

1. +1, This is the question of the next year; a disrupter is supposed to disrupt in FAVOR of the people

... and this fuck isn't got too much room to do such with a 4.6% UE rate.

Right now they have to tell bold faced ass'd lies the M$M wants to repeat to convince people their lives are hell now.

Fuck that, the DNC should be pushing back against that narrative and make sure the country knows shit is better now than at the end of Bush's reign
