Perhaps if the Democrats contrast how many private section jobs were created 2009-10

[Tony_FLADEM]

with how many private sections jobs were created in 2001-2002 this might help.


600,000 private sections jobs have been created since Obama took office. How many were created during the first 2 years under Bush? I think only a million were created the entire 8 years.

1. 2.2 million were lost

But I think there were several million created between 2002 and 2007, when things started turning down again. Of course, it was mostly due to a phony credit-based construction and home depot economy. It's a little tougher to create an economy on real industry the way Obama is.

2. Honestly, I think thats just flinging feces

Unless you can find direct policies with casual relationships to the loss/gains, while eliminating other variables, you are playing a game of "My dad is stronger than your dad".
