Bush entered office in 2001 just as a recession was starting, and left in the middle of a long one.


That’s almost 22 months of recession during his 96 months in office.


The Bush administration created about three million jobs (net) over its eight years, a fraction of the 23 million jobs created under President Bill Clinton‘s administration and only slightly better than President George H.W. Bush did in his four years in office.

Data from the Bureau of Labor statistics shows that Massachusetts added 50,000 jobs during Romney’s tenure in office. But that number represents only 1.5 percent growth for Massachusetts, compared to a 5 percent increase for the nation during the same period.

This is a sad attempt at cherry picking data. Romney entered with Mass. at 50th in job growth and left with Mass. at 27th, in the time period listed here the data shows Mass. had full employment thus "growth" was minimized.

Are you going to cite any data?


Massachusetts lagged behind the nation as a whole in certain areas of the economy — jobs, home values and family incomes — while Romney was in office.

Sure, I'll give some data. BTW - I misremembered, he left with them at 31st in Job Growth and came in with them at 50th, the next year while his policy was still in effect 2007 they were 24th...

5. Piled on more debt than any other state: Romney left Massachusetts residents with $10,504 in per capita bond debt, the highest of any state in the nation when he left office in 2007. The state ranked second in debt as a percentage of personal income. Romney regularly omits those statistics from his Massachusetts record, instead touting the fact that he balanced the state’s budget (he was constitutionally required to do so). He wouldn’t be much different as president: his proposed tax plan adds more than $10 trillion to the national debt.

First time for everything, isn't there?

In January 2007, Mass was 29th...according to the stats.

BTW, what "policy" of Rmoney's "was still in effect" that created jobs?
Click to expand...

Well, since no new policy had gone into effect yet, it would be whatever policy he had in effect.

Basically this thread goes in this pattern.

Charlie Brown Shirt makes a claim, Damocles tells him his claim was simply cherry picking data, proves it, and Charlie Brown shirt tries to distract from the fact that his original premise is simply reporting data out of context in the hopes that people will choose to accept the data without educating themselves.

Right...don't hold hour breath.
 
\\((|))// said:
So you can't say what "policy" of Rmoney's "was still in effect" that created jobs after he left office?
Click to expand...

All of his policies were still in effect when he left office, until his successor changed them, which hadn't happened yet in the beginning of 2007.
 
\\((|))// said:
Specifically, what "policy" of Rmoney's created jobs?
Click to expand...

So you made a claim that few jobs were created in Mass. then when proved wrong try to change the subject to this? What policy do you believe helped to create the jobs? Was it the tax holidays? Was it the balanced budget after having a $3 Billion shortfall?

What policies do you think would create an environment conducive to creating jobs?
 
\\((|))// said:
I did? When?



Who proved me wrong, since I don't recall saying "that no jobs were created in Mass."?

I find it interesting that you insist repeatedly that Rmoney created jobs after he left office, but won't say how he did it.

Did I say he created jobs after he left office or did I say that his policy was still in effect until it was changed by his successor?
 
\\((|))// said:
So you admit you lied when you said I claimed "that no jobs were created in Mass."?

No, I can read your deleted posts.

What policy of Rmonery's was still in effect after he left office?

Did Rmoney "create jobs", or not?

If so, how?

Be specific.

So you cannot answer the questions about his policy that I asked above? Be specific.

I'll repost it just in case you can't find the questions. Remember to be specific. Tell me what policies you think create jobs, back it up with matching policies of Romney's that brought Massachusetts from 50th to 31st in Job creation. Explain your opinion with actual data rather than cherry-picked data you are so ashamed of you delete it.

LOL, as far as I can tell, all my deleted posts I are still visible in the quotes embedded in your replies, aren't they?

I don't recall claiming that government policies create jobs...are you saying I did?
Click to expand...

It seems to be inferred in your insistence that it is his "record" that caused the opposite. Are you saying you cannot tell me which policy you think creates jobs, after you clearly infer that they do?

So now you're backpedaling away from your accusation that my "deleted posts" that you "can see" contain any claim that "no jobs were created in Mass"?

Good. I admire your honesty.

What you choose to "infer" from statements of min that do not say what you wish they did isn't my problem, is it?

So you are saying that you posted a thread, with poorly cherry-picked data, claiming a poor jobs record but have no idea which policies you think created that economic environment and cannot say what policies you think would do better?

Shall I quote my own post again of the questions you will not answer?
